No lol
ok
I never read Carlos Fuentes but he seems awesome.
Fuentes' Terra Nostra is an apotheosis for the entire hispanophone world, and a genuine masterpiece.
Sor Juana's verses verge on sublimity. Gutierre de Cetina's ouvre is the epitome of Spanish golden age literature. Vasconcelos and his latin microcosm is admirable. Alfonso Reyes has exemplary prose for any tongue. Fernández de Lizardi penned the height of picaresque texts in Mexico. Rulfo is a precursor to García Márquez and unfortunately eclipsed by the latter's (deserved) popularity, but his Pedro Páramo is a masterwork in terms of narrative and national ethos
And I still concede mexican literature is relatively lacking.
yea it's kinda lacking but when you get into it there are many good works and authors you wouldn't have discovered otherwise through the mainstream
Imagine your entire identity being based off of getting colonized
Mexicans have no literature or art that isn’t cringe and any decent piece of architecture in Mexico was built by Spaniards and the only decent composer was 100% white (Ponce)
>Mexicans have no literature or art that isn’t cringe
More like you don't know any Mexican literature or art that isn't cringe.
> and the only decent composer was 100% white (Ponce)
Still Mexican, though.
pls do not lewd my mexican waifu
she left Enrigue, the whore. he's the better writer, anyway.
no
very original comment, you should be an author.
Roberto Bolano is probs my favorite mexican author along with Jorge Luis Borges desu.

Obviously Juan Rulfo (?)
Inés Arredondo
Daniel Sada
Juan Vicente Melo
Salvador Elizondo

Are you faggots even trying anymore?
You gotta be shitting me user. There's no way you're so stupid.
Yeah well he's shit.
t. hasn't read Terra Nostra

That's a really fucking stupid statement. IF you want to brag about composers, you should check Silvestre Revueltas and Agustín Lara before saying shit about mexican composing. Also, all the folklorical classics are real masterpieces. And the identity of mexicans from colonization was an identity of the XIX century, not from today. Identity comes from actual native material and spiritual culture not from bullshit xenophobe shit like much of America's identity (first the british, then the irish, then the latinos).
If you still think mexican art/literature is shit, just check this artists/writers: Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Siqueiros, Remedios Varo, Juan Rulfo, David Toscana, Mariano Azuela, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Manuel Payno, Jaime Sabines, Xavier Villaurrutia and the list goes on.
I thought north mexicans were white?
the region was originally settled by (((marranos))) fleeing the spanish inquisition
Loved this book.

I hate Mexicans but this is just dumb. The Spanish did to Mexico what the French did to the Anglos.
>I hate Mexicans
Why do you hate me, user?
Immigration, plain and simple. The Mexicans below the border are fine by me.
Well, that's where I am, in Mexico, I'm not parasiting any foreign land. I'd shoot every central american illegal on our southern border if I could o to help you with your (and now our) problems but muh human rights.

Basado y rojopillado :)
Amparo Dávila is top-tier creepy and weird fiction.
Here's a poem from Nezahualcoyotl, the most famous king of the Aztec city-state of Texcoco and who was an intellectual polymath, both desinging aquaduct and dike systems and writing poetry and being a patron of the arts.
also I have a mega of Precolumbian resources, esp. for Mesoamerica here mega.nz/#F!vtQ2EIKK!Z7R8gN5vTsfalKDn18jOmw . I also have an art drive (mostly mesoamerican) here drive.google.com/open?id=15iey5ZMTHflLHbMVGPRsyBLKLcHGCsKb which will eventually get folded into that mega
reddit.com/r/history/comments/9jwhhu/silly_questions_saturday_september_29_2018/e72toxp/ is a post by a dude I coordinate with on Mesoamerican stuff which has additional resources (booklists, suggested artists/channels etc; the askhistorians post list esp. is a good starting place)

Josefina Vicens is an excellent novelist. A few months ago I read her two novels (Los años falsos and El libro vacío) and was amazed by her psychological insight and construction, especially in the former.
Cervantes
Whoa I was just getting all curious about Mesoamerica recently and desperately looking for these kind of intro/thumbnail sketch starting points before jumping into real nigga books about it
Thanks man, gonna look over all this when I get home
no problem user, feel free to also email me at [email protected] if you have questions (especially since knowing which books to jump into when the mega has hundreds is sort of duanting), though i'll warn you I'm really bad at replying on a timely basis so if you use a throwaway be sure to check it every few weeks/months or set it up to auto-foward to your real address
ALso i'll say if you do want a good foundation before getting into real academic books on them, reading all the posts in that askhistorians post pastebin in the plebbit link will you give you a pretty solid foundation
and the mega and that booklist also has a lot of the actual books you'll want to reead as well, thoiugh since the booklist isn't organized yet with discriptions you can't really rell whjat's vouched or not vs what he added out of personal interest, but, again, I can do my best to give you specific suggestions as well if you email me
