It's not fair to drag Australia down like that. Consider that the country was British until the 20th century and the bulk of its early literature is essentially 'colonial' British (i.e. dialect writing, like Lawson and Paterson). Oz has produced Kenneth Mackenzie, Kenneth Slessor, Patrick White, Les Murray and Gerald Murnane. For a country with a population below that of most European countries for the bulk of its history and lacking an ancient tradition, any one of the above writers would be hailed as an exemplar of their national culture in Hungary, Romania, Denmark, Lithuania, etc.

first of all, Dante would be just fine, as God clearly guided that gentle scholar's hand.

and good heavens, you insist that politics belongs on the table, well, we will never see eye to eye, and i suppose that is for the best.
i'm sorry, but the jews just lack literary promise. they at best make serviceable comedians, when they're demeaning themselves in the schlemiel form, but more often than not, your works are confined to descriptive passages of jerking off.
show me one man who has genuinely benefited in a literary sense from the conception of gravity, or the viscocity of tar, and i'll show you a man who did better for himself catching butterflies. your shelves must be a true snoozefest, really.

This is a clique of New York-oriented writers and critics who control much of the literary scene through the influence of the quarterlies and intellectual magazines. All these publications are Jewish-dominated and this particular coterie employs them to make or break writers by advancing or withholding attention. I don’t think there’s any conscious, sinister conspiracy on their part—just a determination to see that members of their particular clique rise to the top. Bernard Malamud and Saul Bellow and Philip Roth and Isaac Bashevis Singer and Norman Mailer are all fine writers, but they’re not the only writers in the country, as the Jewish literary Mafia would have us believe. I could give you a list of excellent writers, such as John Knowles and Vance Bourjaily and James Purdy and Donald Windham and Reynolds Price and James Leo Herlihy and Calder Willingham and John Hawkes and William Goyen; the odds are you haven’t heard of most of them, for the simple reason that the Jewish Mafia has systematically frozen them out of the literary scene. Now, mind you, I’m not against any particular group adhering to its own literary values and advancing its own favored authors; such cliques have always existed in American letters. I only object when any one particular group—and it could just as well be Southern, or Roman Catholic, or Marxist, or vegetarian—gets a strangle hold on American criticism and squeezes out anybody who doesn’t conform to its own standards. It’s fine to write about specifically Jewish problems, and it often makes valid and exciting literature—but the people who have other messages to convey, other styles and other backgrounds should also be given a chance. Today, because of the predominance of the Jewish Mafia, they’re not being given that opportunity. This is something everyone in the literary world knows but never writers about.

I am Brazilian, have read Machado, and I'm sorry to inform you, but he was as much a part of the BR elite as anyone else, regardless of his origins, and his writings show an extreme - I am tempted to say total - influence from Western literature, more specifically French and English. His Portuguese is modeled on the great Portuguese writers of the 16th century and near contemporaries like Garrett, and all of his references are to classical Western literature, music, philosophy, and visual arts.
No to mention his themes... If you actually wanted a decent example of a BR writer who might conceivably be considered non-Western, you could use Gonçalves Dias or José de Alencar, who wrote about indians (although they're still fully Western, because they use Western literary forms in a very Western ways - if they're not Western, neither is Chateaubriand). But Machado is the opposite of that. His novels are in the realist and philosophical traditions of 19th century Europe, something between Laurence Sterne and Gustave Flaubert.

wrong, they're good at scheming, lying, undermining civilizations, corrupting the youth, usury, and quibbling.

writing? mediocre at best. truly, none of the people the jews here claim have produced any vital works.

in any case the initial question is which COUNTRY is the worst for books, not nationalities, and despite many jews from various countries being offered up by the local furious yid, absolutely none of them are from Israel, and I defy him or anyone else here to point to an Israeli born novel of any significance.

Yes, of course, but you have to take into account that you are talking about enormous countries filled with millions of mulattos compared to tiny old Bulgaria.

Yes, Bulgaria was the commie country that angered America the most because our judeo-bolshevik elite wanted to be the most loyal lapdog to the Soviets. Therefore, since then Westerners have shied away from reading Bulgarian literature. If the Prussians had won, things would have looked much different.
Furthermore, if you want to talk about our country's whole history, we've had beautiful novels ever since the early medieval period, on top of all of the Christian translation work.

They're horribly unoriginal. There are only two types : the sanctimonious bourgeois ones (Zweig) who perform this parody routine of post-enlightenment european middle class tropes, and their mirror images, the degenerates/subversives (Schnitzler, etc.), who play on the same tropes, but with inverse values.

Bizarrely enough both usually end up agreeing that non-jewish european culture is bad and literally nazism (because it doesn't conform to their bizarro negative image understanding/performance of it, and jews are perhaps the least self-reflexive group to ever exist), while even more bizarrely claiming that they are the greatest representatives of "european culture" (their understanding of it) in general.

Once you read a representative of both camps of jews, you practically read every single jew, because their ideas/takes/understanding of the world/techniques are so comically homogenous, that they might as well be clones of each other. Jews never ever possessed the capacity for creative renewal or the immense ideological/creative diversity that goy writers embodied before WW2. They always were just the shadow of goyim.
