What is your nationality and one of your nations writers??

I think if everyone describes their nations and writers it can make us have more knowledge about different nations...

I'm an American, and Mark Twain, H. P. Lovecraft, and other writers were, or are, Americans

I'm Canadian and our big one is Margaret Atwood I suppose.

Italian, but Gabrielle D'Annunzio is one of my favorite Italian writers who outside of Italy seems entirely unknown.

P. K. Page for me, Canadian. Anne Hebert or perhaps Hubert Aquin for Quebec I suppose, though Emile Nelligan is the archetypal French Canadian bard.

American. Melville.

I'm English and I'm going for Virginia Woolf...among others of course.

I am from Iceland and I guess our most famous author is Halldór Laxness and maybe the sagas but they don't really have an author I guess, except one or two.

I am Caymanian and we have no known authors originally from here. Hhhmmm, I think I am the only one:willy_nilly:

Mexican.- my favorite mexican writer is Juan Rulfo, there are others like Octavio Paz and Carlos Fuentes

British and my favourite British literary figure is George Orwell

Bengal - Rabindranath Tagore

;) Technically, Bengal is not a nation. But it has its own language, and Tagore is also my favourite Indian writer. I would add Kalidas in addition if I was discussing the entirety of Indian literature.

I am from Austria and Stefan Zweig and Arthur Schnitzler were two great authors.

From India and my favorite Indian writers are Arundhati Roy and R.K. Narayan. Among authors writing in languages other than English Ghalib is my favorite.

Born in Argentina, but lived 3/4 of my life in this United States of America. Macedonio Fernandez, J.L. Borges, Julio Cortazar (terrible as a poet) and Roberto Arlt, some of the best Argentinean writers in my opinion. Arlt died too young, at 42 from Tuberculosis, my project Dostoievski. In the United States, Mark Twain, Faulkner, Thoreau, Thomas Jefferson, etc., etc. and etc.
