Why no major Asian authors?

> he doesn't think breaking things and laughing at their pieces is creativity
are you an anti-semite user?

Alpha Centauri is art.

can you read an asian language?

This is stupid. Protip: don't look at literature through the lens of race.

*blocks your path*

Nearly every Chinese "classic" reads like a cheesy Shoen manga, not even comparable to Greek classics like the Odyssey

>Can any Chinese authors be compared to the top European or White/Jewish American authors?
Of course.

But you have to realize that the sublime greatness of Western literature comes from our cultural knowledge of God and Christianity, not ""creativity"".

The Chinese know little about Christianity so it makes sense that their art is less profound.

Racial bias: the thread.

asia/russia became westernized at the moment when the west started inhibiting its dionysian drive because of industrialization and liberalism. so they are cargo culting a cargo cult, which makes them at least twice removed from a real creative mindset (the greek/italian pagan/renaissance mindset)

Reminder that the novel was considered an inferior form of art in China for hundreds of years. Even their 'great novels' read more like histories or anthologies, and the Hong Long Meng has a generous helping of poetry in it
