Pride and Prejudice. Re-reading.
What's it about?
Well, you know, you've got your Pride, of course, and that's represented in the character of, uh... and but then on the other hand, you've got Prejudice, and oh boy, I don't know which is worse. It's really a battle, I think, between the two. But in the end, of course, what do you know, it turns out that it's really the two together that really, uh, puts the spice in life. You can't have one without the other. That's my interpretation anyway.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Brazil's History
>What's it about?
Clearing some misconceptions taught in school e.g. there were no saint heroes or demon villains in hour history. Some famous cultural idols were nazis and there were a lot of ex-slave slave traffickers. Natives weren't the angels we were taught and most natives died in the hands of other natives that had sided with the europeans;
those natives wanted to expand their territories and were considered friends of the empire/king/whatever.

Memed, My Hawk
>What's it about?
Winner of Turkey's first literary awards, it follows the life of brigand Ince Memed as he basically acts like Robin Hood, except towards petty Turkish magistrates, often with gruesome and excessive violence. Parts of the plot feel ripped off by Braveheart.

I questioned that myself, but what are you going to do, I'm not an authority in the language, and NYRB are better than most.

No mainstream books talk about it. They just praise the guy for being good at writing/composing/etc and suck his dick for his works.
