This list needs some Southern Slavic authors though.

Lucky Teapot Give us some titles then:)

I would if I knew any, I don't think I've ever read any Southern Slavic authors. Just pointed out the obvious.

Well, it may be obvious but if none of us knows any of these authors we cannot recommend them for "Crash" Course. Isn't this obvious ?

No, it isn't :). You'd think people who were interested in Slavic lit wouldn't want to limit themselves to the north. Hopefully my comment will prompt someone to add Southern authors. No need to take it as criticism.

Lucky Teapot: I didn't take it as a criticism:) On the contrary, I admit you have a point there. Just a little provocation:) Let me know if you find something interesting from South. Good luck.

I took over, guys. Now there's a few southeastern ones.

Ivo Andric, Mesa Selimovic, Dervis Susic, Radoje Domanovic, Milos Crnjanski, Danilo Kis, Miljenko Jergovic, Miroslav Krleza, Ranko Marinkovic, August Senoa.....

Just wondering: Lolita is considered one of the finest works of English language literature, can we really consider it 'Slavic' based on the author's birth place?

*looks at the tags* Czech, Russian, Polish? *goes to add the rest*

eta: I got bored and didn't add all slavs.

How are Kafka's works Slavic? He was born in Prague but he was Jewish and wrote in German and as far as I know, his writing doesn't owe any particularities to Slavic literary tradition, AND Prague was at the time in the Austro-Hungarian empire.

I second Yoana

I added some South Slavic (Bulgarian) books.

Those who consider Lolita a fine work, consider Donald trump a fine president

Those who conside..."

Those who think Lolita is pro-pedophilia can't read

Prus's Lalka (The Doll) is listed twice, once in Czech.

How about the Bulgarian author, Gospodinov Georgi who wrote The Physics of Sorrow

More like a "Crash Course in russian Literature" or "How to Become an Imperialist/Terrorist"

It's unbelievable how disproportionate and imperialistic this list is

There's really nothing Slavic about Conrad's literature.
