asian fiction you HAVE TO read






20th century italian literature
a (very small) sample of 20th century italian writers. I've decided to showcase only one work per writer.
"Who emulates the jesters of the Middle Ages in scourging authority and upholding the dignity of the downtrodden." The Nobel Prize in Literature, 1997, about Dario Fo.






Reading Through the Decades
A simple reading theough the decades (1800s-1990s) challenge focused on deeply flawed characters and societal critiques with a few slight thematic depatures to keep things fresh -- because that's how I like to read. Some decades are repesented more heavily than others. Put together in an attempt to make myself a more widely-read person. Suggestions welcome!
