Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.

  • Oh, and for funny books, Tom Sharpe of course

  • Anyone mentioned John Boyne yet?

    The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was really a YA book, but some of his other stuff is world class. A Ladder to the Sky, Heart's Invisible Furies etc

    You have to break through the crust and the jelly to get to the meat

    • Belgium’s renowned chocolatiers grapple with soaring cocoa prices

    Jump

  • I think it's pretty safe to assume that the price of cocoa went up a bit due to climate changes and the commodity traders seized the chance to jack the price up

  • Honestly I've seen zero evidence that the "information shared.. was specific"

    Not a single credible news source has reported that.

    Not being a dick, just wondering what they mean by "specific"

    "It's highly likely there will be a terrorist attack at some point soon" wouldn't carry much weight if the russkis said it to the yanks, let's face it

    • Chip cards accepted here

    Jump

  • The fact you said "chip cards" instead of just "cards" is hilarious in a kinda archaic way

    • Sorry, no health updates. I've been on hold for 2 days and now it's the weekend. So here's a few observations about the weirdness of Rochester, MN and more crazy mother stories!

    Jump

  • Squid man, fuckin hell mate, you sure do overthink things. You need to lay off the dope.

    According to the demographics I looked up, Rochester is 6% Latino, and yet almost the entire international foods aisle of the Walmart grocery...

    Mate, I'm up in buttfuck nowhere in the Alps and a fifth of the world food aisle is mexican. Closest thing we've got here is the odd Spaniard. It's just good food, plus yanks have a fucking weird obsession with race.

    Also, not one single bit of what you've listed as your mum's "craziness" is unusual behaviour, especially for a mum whose kid is clearly mentally unstable

    Give her a break and lay off the shit that's fucking your brain up man

  • . I didn’t volunteer to work for a publicly traded company, i volunteered to work for a community. As long as i live under capitalism i accept that my labor will generate value for shareholders, but damned if i ever do it for free.

    I sincerely hope you said this in multiple places on Reddit

    There will be a lot of people who don't realise that that's precisely what the IPO means
