Machado de Assis

YES

>ultra-racist

lmao no. Read Pai contra Mãe faggot

This is awesome wtf that kid is a genius

Sometimes I wonder if he didn't create a Goethe effect in brazilian literature, we produce much more poets (and even songwriters) of worth than writers, because Machado pretty much BTFO everyone. It took the gemrans what, 200 years? to go back to literature after Goethe because no one had any idea where to take it after him.

>Joaquim Nabuco, em carta enviada de Washington, em 25 de novembro, ficou escandalizado ao ver Machado sendo chamado de “mulato”: “Eu não teria chamado o Machado mulato [itálico no original] e penso que nada lhe doeria mais do que essa síntese (...). O Machado para mim era um branco, e creio que por tal se tornava [sic]; quando houvesse sangue estranho, isso em nada afetava a sua perfeita caracterização caucásica. Eu pelo menos só vi nele o grego. O nosso pobre amigo, tão sensível, preferiria o esquecimento à glória com a devassa sobre suas origens”.

Não é o Machado de Assis que ficou escandalizado e sim o Joaquim Nabuco

Brazil doesn't produces good literature anymore because the literaly establishment is still dominated by literal communists who boycott anyone who doesn't toe the party line.

Joaquim Nabuco o conhecia melhor que eu e você.

The world doesn't produce good literature anymore my friend, it's not just Brazil. Everything that doesn't sell and doesn't get publicity or appease the interest of the masses isn't suitable for literature nowadays

So, your argument for him being racist is that people were racist and thought he was too civilized to be white?

Oh fuck off dude, most of our greatest authors were card carrying communists, it's not the left's fault the right can only produce geniuses like Pondé and Lobão while ignoring good right wing authors we had because everyone is a fucking illiterate code monkey or administration student.

...

to be black*

Gimme like twenny years is good.

>poets aren't writers

What the actual fuck.

Yeah, sorry, I meant novelists, probably because in (brazilian) portuguese you can use "writer" when talking about a novelist because novela means pretty much soap opera

Nah, novela means something not so short as a short story but not so long as a novel e.g. Kafka's Metamorphosis.

And we do have a lot of good novelists. Clarice? Raduan? Rosa?

You know exactly what I meant dude, unless you make very clear you're talking about literature, novela is for all intents and purposes a soap opera, even academical contexts.
And of course we have, but you have to admit the output of poetry (and chronicles, probably even theatre) is way more substantial than romances and novels.

Pic related. You better stick with videogames.

>even theatre
Yeah so fucking good that our most famous name is Nelson Rodrigues.

>Guimarães "não sei o que é prosa" Rosa is the second greatest writer in our country
>not based José de Alencar

tfw ywn sentirá a salgada brisa do infinito azul lhe ninhando em uma suave rede, amando sua indiana dos lábios de mel sob fronde da carnaúba na terra onde canta a jandaia
