Which country has the plebbiest literature and why is it the USA?
Reminder that your opinions are immediately discarded unless your country has a minimum of TWO (2) books in the meme trilogy.

American lit is a joke

From where to you hail?

Russia.
American lit is no joke.
>>8244403
it's more of a jest, really, that doesn't end.
>>8244398
Russian lit is good, but depressing. At least American lit has a glimmer of hope in it.
explain what makes literature pleb
Even their poets are pleb
>Poe
>Whitman
>Frost
>Plath
All entry-level as fuck. No wonder Eliot and Pound fled to Europe.
>>(insert country you feel inferior to) lit is joke
When will this meme end?
Just judge each book/author/playwright as they come and stop trying to lump everybody into large demographics because you're not intelligent enough to think critically about them as individuals.
Fuck /lit/ and /pol/ are two sides of the same retarded coin.
>>8244446
Non-american literature = Coke
American Literature = Diet Coke
>>8244456
We will when the entirety of the USA stop doing that too.
>>8244455
Poe has some of the most musical rhythms ever
>haven't gotten into Whitman
Frost is basically the gold standard for good and accessible poetry
Plath's use of semi-biblical imagery to portray as violent images as she does is amazing, and her poetry is undeniably important with Daddy being one of the most well-crafted poems ever.
>>8244914
You know what else is accessible? The Fault in Our Stars.

Gentle reminder that American literature has been the most innovative, influential, mature, and challenging national literature since 1945. Anybody who questions this can only be doing so out of resentment for their cultural subservience to the United States, because it is virtually impossible for somebody even vaguely familiar with trends in contemporary literature to deny American supremacy. See also: cinema, pop music, television
>>8244929
I'm well aware of the fact that accessibility is unrelated to quality.
You just hate us 'cause you ain't us.
American literature is probably the best. People who say otherwise are probably the types who just regurgitate the "Shakespeare was a great writer" may-may.
He really isn't compared to the best works released since, but it sounds all 'fancy' and 'cultured' to mush minded teenage pseudo-intellectuals, so they continue to spout this shit.
>b-b-ut I don't care about shakespeare. it's the others!
Same idea. Really the best book ever released was Ender's Game, or maybe The Gunslinger by Stephen King
>hahahaha oh man check out this pleb
which is exactly how your professors/essays you lapped up online conditioned you to think. Good job on being a good robot.
It seems to me that the way these plebtards think is that if they naturally enjoy a book, but it contains the non-approved styles or tones or prose or types of story progression, then they have to regard it as pleb-tier.
I'm here to liberate you, and tell you that those books you naturally enjoy the most?
Those are the best books of them all.
>>8244942
not to pretentious insecure retards. they have no sense of what makes something good, so their only guide is to judge quality based on what's popular and what the academic types are saying.
>>8244936
Yeah, well, that's just cuz the Jews run the world.
>>8245804
are you agreeing with me or calling me retarded?
>>8245801
>nothing can reach me through my impenetrable shield of self-awareness
Sender's game was shit and you should feel like shit.
Gunslinger was enjoyable, but I don't recall anyone measuring artistic merit or profundity on a scale of "enjoyability"
The US can't compete, they only have John Green and Dan Brown. But us Europeans have Shakespeare, Plutarch, Cervantes, Plato, Aristotle, Aristophanes, Tolstoy, Sappho, Virgil, The Bible, Cicero, Beno, Beowulf, Chaucer, Proust, Joyce, Homer, Alighieri, Flaubert, Nabokov, Vico, Carroll, etc just to name a couple.
I would say Canada. I'm Canadian.

you're gonna have to give credit to Asia and Africa as well my guy

Here's a line from a great Russian novel transliterated into wingdings. Are you having trouble accessing it? Do you enjoy it as much as you otherwise might have?

Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it. Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card. "Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.
>>8244232
>why is it the USA?
have you ever read Australian or Canadian lit?
>>8246284
Did Steve Irwin ever write a book?
The US can't compete, they only have Henry Green and Dante. But us Europeans have Bunyan, Pynchon, Gaddis, Faulkner, DeLillo, Tolstoy, Sun Ra, and Jesus, just to name a couple.

You're on an American forum that overwhelmingly discusses American literature. You listen to American music, watch American television, and eat American food all quite regularly. Your news stations cover our elections, but we sure as hell don't care about yours. In all likelihood, your country has been invaded by America or by a sponsored ally. It's an American world, baby, you just live in it.
Korean lit is definitely plebbier than American, so hypothesis disproved. Try to make less sweeping statements next time.

Just because people use projections incorrectly doesn't mean they cant be used.
They are supposed to be silly shorts mocking their target, especially when the target has been outright negative.
I'm not really impressed that you've managed and value your internet culture so deeply that you have the projection image on retainer.

This is the truth. American lack of a lasting culture reflects on every aspect of their "artists". That's why they have shit like Andy Warhol or postmodern """literature""".
>>8246376
>American forum
Based on a japanese imageboard run by a japanese and populated by people around the world. The only thing American about it is the location of the server (if it isn't moved to a cheaper country to avoid taxes)

Mostly the Americans here.

I don't

Something for stupid people who believe themselves to be intelligent and cultured to consume and remain in their bubble of alleged intelligence and culture

If this is going to become an /int/ shit storm at least own up to where you are from and what you're comparing X literature to.
>>8248369
Oh so you're not even going to claim your own country, just the whole of Europe?
>>8248370
I didn't shit talk anyone. tf are you talking about
>>8248044
I laugh when they say "If America sucks so much, why does everyone want to immigrate here?" Like no other country has immigration. Like almost anywhere isn't better than living in Mexico.
>>8248379
Sorry I was just grabbing posts, I probably included a few that weren't talkin shit but mentioned something that caught my eye.
Which was your post?
American literature isn't anywhere near as prestigious as British or French literature but saying it's the "plebbiest" is ridiculous. Grow up.
>>8244232
America has Melville, who is probably the greatest post-Shakesperean writer. That's all it needs to prove it's based.
It also has Faulkner, O'Connor, Wolfe, Pynchon, Gass, Gaddis, etc. etc. etc.
In short, OP is a faggot.
>>8248493
>O'Connor, Wolfe, Pynchon, Gass, Gaddis
Not a single one of these author is relevant outside of the US
>>8248498
>O'Connor is not relevant outside of the US
Well that's your loss.
Have fun with your anti-American circle jerk.
I'm going to go enjoy our top tier lit, shoot some guns, not be invaded by sharia, know that there is no possible way a foreign force could invade us, and say whatever the fuck I want to whomever I want.
>>8248602
>know that there is no possible way a foreign force could invade us
Hola amigo, ¿hacen unos taquitos wei?
Illegals =/= organized foreign force.
Also both Trump and Clinton are against illegal immigration (Then again what Clinton stands for is different for each audience)
And if you're legal WELCOME PATRIOT

England is literally the only place where this is happening.

plus you are and have been invaded by Mexico and Mexicans for years,and they are much more worse than muslims could ever be
>know that there is no possible way a foreign force could invade us
