A great early example of magic realism, this novel is an excellent exploration of the dark and ugly underbelly of society under dictatorial rule
I really recommend it, tb-h, it won miguel angel asturias a nobel prize in literature
I'm polish, but I haven't really read many polish authors beyond what was required in high school. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend either Ferdydurke by Gombrowski or A World Apart by Herling-Grudziński.
I don't have links for the english versions, but I'm sure they're out there, if you're interested enough.
I hate To Kill A Mocking Bird so fucking much. It's the r/books version of a classic. And it does not at all represent america...Faulkner would be a much better choice.
the grapes of wrath would be a decent contender too IMO
Are you that user that was spouting racist shit the other day? If you are, I hope you die. If not, thanks for the rec.
Wew lad
What kind of racist shit?
I don't come here very often

It's Gombrowicz.
Italy
I recommend Hilarotragoedia by Giorgio Manganelli, arguably the greatest linguistical and narrative achievement of contemporary Italian literature - though be warned, it's fairly complicated. The guy loves archaisms (like the verb inlatebrare, which is a rare latin term, for to hide) and phonetic neologisms. Still, it's mind bendingly incredible. Not gonna post a link, but it's literally the first result on google if you search "hilarotragoedia pdf".
The choice of Ferrante for my country is idiotic and insulting, by the way, just by virtue of it being chosen over the plethora of classics, evene contemporary, that could have fit on there much better.
