racist?
Hello! (long time lurker, first time poster; my English is really terrible but I hope that you will understand my question.)
I always get the stamp: 'you are a racist', because I think the 'white/westerner' literature is much superior to the products (poems, novels, short stories) of the other literatures. (By the way I have got 4 friends - my formerly girlfriend and her friends - from Japan and they think that 'our' writers are so much better.)
I don't see anything groundbreaking in African/Asian literature. I always try to read Chinese etc. novels but I have not read anything with feelengs like that: Hey, she is better than Wharton! He is equal to Mann! He is almost as good as Krasznahorkai!
But maybe you could suggest me titles, and in the end I will change my opinion.
Thank you for reading my post,
Gabor
