Which one should I read first? :)
>Forbidden Colors (Kinjiki) by Yukio Mishima is a landmark 1951 Japanese novel. It follows Shunsuke, a bitter, aging novelist who uses a spectacularly handsome young man named Yuichi as an instrument of revenge against the women who betrayed him, pushing Yuichi into the secret gay underworld of postwar Tokyouhh gay
>>25313540yet ppl here keep coping and crying about how he wasn't gay, when all his books are about being either gay, cuckold or tranny.
>>25313544It's more that the retards here want to pretend he's a precursor to 2SGAALGBTQISABTF+ when in reality he was obsessed with masculinity. It's not that much different than fags seeing sculptures that depict religious ecstasy and thinking that representation is no different than doing poppers and getting fucked in a bathroom stall at a bath house.
>>25314735What? gays are typically obsessed with masculinity and machismo, you dumbass. Like it's the whole stereotype. Why do you think bodybuilding is associated with fags.
I read Suttree a few months back and loved it. I know nothing of the other novels and choose to remain ignorant.
>>25315535No it isn't lol. That's a specific subset of faggot culture.
>>25315599I am looking forward to it, from what little I've read about it ït could be similar to my beloved Bohumil Hrabal.
>>25313539podle mě se věci moc dobře nepřekládájí z angličtiny do češtiny a naopak. proč nečteš třeba ani toho McCartyho v originální angličtině?
>>25315942What the FUCK did you just call me? Was that a spell?
>>25315973guess!
have you read kang before?
>>25316011Yes, I have read Vegetarian and Human Acts. Loved Human Acts (as much as one can love that book, it's akin to saying you love the movie Threads). Looking forwards to We Do Not Part. Btw the czech translator does not do whatever the english one did.
>>25315942Pokud to bude stát za to, tak si to během druhého čtení přečtu v AJ.
>>25316023human acts was indeed excellent. we do not part is also good, especially the second half. might have my favorite ending of all her books i've read. enjoy, it's her most atmospheric and has great motif work.
>>25313539I vote Suttree but I can't imagine McCarthy comes across the same way in Czech.
>>25316724Why not? We got our own Corncob (nigga in this pic) like 30 years before it was cool.
>>25313544That's like two novels totalBut yeah it's cope especially since those are the ones where he most extensively explains his worldview
>>25313539Cool covers
>>25315535Flamer homos is the socially dominant branch not masculine ones. In fact the masculine homos tend to want nothing to do with the whole legbutt community since they’re just advertising insanity. Return to tradition.
>>25313539Any Yugoslav lit recommendations? I want to learn the language, but really don't have any resources. But I am compiling a reading list, also translations would be helpful.
>>25314735>>25315535I rarely see it get pointed out but it's clear Mishima never did leg exercises. His legs are tiny
>>25315535
>>25317410>YugoslavThat has nothing to do with this thread. I can give you czech.Bohumil Hrabal - Too Loud a Solitude (this used to be on /lit/ top 100s back when this board used to read), I Served the King of EnglandVladislav Vančura - Marketa Lazarová, The End of the Old TimesLadislav Fuks - The CrematorKarel Čapek - War With the NewtsLadislav Klíma - Sufferings of Prince SternenhochJiří Šotola - Society of JesusJaroslav Durych - God's Rainbow
