I had no idea. I Wiki'd him, and 'Zionism Judaism' was one of the sub-headings.

jord why are you reading such a shit book? did you buy that from an airport departure lounge or something?
My reading is limited to what's given to me, so I try to alternate between good and... not so good.

I finished one flew over the cuckoos nest, now I'm on this, and then... perhaps some micheal crichton.
read some john le carré if you want top-rate spy literature

In Norway we know nothing of international artists/authors, only learn about our own

since when did munch write? i was only talking about literature...

and he just copied french artistic thought

that said, the french pretty much hold the crown for intellectual thought, and have done since... the 1750's.

Thanks for the suggestion, when/if I'm ever on my feet ill be sure to purchase some books made this side of 1980.

Not that classics aren't classic, but my dads collection hand out is quite old.


It wouldn't be so bad if it started and remained bone, but it started off half interesting with the story leading up to him being hung. Now its hard to read and take in, kinda slow, the mind wonders.

I did say artists/authors though, but anyway.


out of curiosity, how many of these Norwegian authors do you internationals know about? Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Alexander Kielland, Jonas Lie, Ludvig Holberg, Johan Sebastian Welhaven, Henrik Wergeland, Petter Dass, Christian Krohg, Hans Jæger, Arne Garborg, Sigrid Undset, Arnulf Øverland, Nordahl Grieg, Sigbjørn Obstfelder, Tarjei Vesaas, Jens Bjørnebo, André Bjerke, Johan Borgen, André Bjerke, Jostein Gaarder

Would be interesting to hear, as they're all pretty much national heroes, lol.

you have to understand that the transnational artistic 'canon' rests just as much upon translation as upon original art.

you can revere your own cultural heroes, just as im sure romania does theirs, but it doesn't mean they're internationally important.

when you build a bigger picture of the artistic trends, regardless of country-of-origin, you soon learn that your own 'heroes' were just copying on to already-existing continental trends, anyway.
