naked lunch

Mexico

Book - Pedro Paramo

USA is kind of tricky, most of our "great novels" were written pre-war. I can't think of many books off the top of my head that accurately represent modern America (at least ideologically).

the fart of the deal

How about Brave New World?

Anything by Thomas Pynchon.

He was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and died in Austria proper, what other nation could possibly claim him? Czech Republic? No, he wrote in German, you slavboy.

He was born in Prague and lived most of his life in Prague.

Norway
Growth of the soil by Knut Hamsun

Moby Dick

Gravity's Rainbow

I only posted it to trigger Czechs, sorry.

Tutunamayanlar or My Meme Hawk you pleb

Tutunamayan-meme'ler. Yeah maybe some day

Oblomov is a much better choice.

Adorno/Horkheimer - Dialectic of Enlightment

Russia
"Bury Me Behind the Baseboard"

White Noise, Infinite Jest

I laughed for a good minute at the image of some crocodile Dundee stereotype sitting at a computer and posting pepes.

Wallenstein

Venezuela

Oficio de difuntos

Depends. If I was entering into some kind of competition then obviously Ulysses, but in general I think mythology is a more fitting representative so the Táin
