How do I stop resenting the fact that the French exist and have the best avant-garde and edgy literature, music, film, art, philosophy, cheese, ect?

It's not fair that they have it all. I hate them so much.

I feel the same way. But I'm required to take a language for uni (I'll admit to only speaking/reading one), so I'm taking two semesters of French and I'm just gonna keep going with it from there.

ignoring the fact that a lot of the original Dada group was at least half-french, how does this add anything to the discussion?

The very notion of the artistic vanguard is a french concept, and Dada and abstract painting are by no means the first historical vanguards (I'd argue the original abstract painters were barely a vanguardisy group).

I know. Tzara, THE Dada writer, wrote in it, but I'm sleepy as fuck and couldn't find a way to phrase it that didn't sound weird.
>>
>>8273201
it provides you with counter-points

>first historical vanguards

? you said best. not saying the french don't have the majority of good avant-garde but it's not exclusive to them

Eh, got my girlfriend to read Story of the Eye and she loved it. We laughed together at some points. I'll probably lend her my copy of Maldoror's, she'll get a kick out of it.
