Favorite novels from underrepresented nations/languages? It seems rather a shame (if inevitable) that global literature is dominated by a handful of linguistic expressions. What are your faves from elsewhere? I'll start the ball rolling. Saneh Sangsuk's "The White Shadow" is a completely batshit insane Thai novel -- Cormac McCarthy-level rural violence and sexual deviance on the margins of Thai society, told in some of the most intense, unsettling stream of consciousness you'll find.

How many of you read literary journals/reviews/little magazines/etc., and if so, which ones do you read? I feel mildly awful about submitting stories to them, occasionally publishing stories in them, and then never actually reading them. Anyone else?

Looking for contemporary poetry. It feels such a cloistered world now, and the little that pierces the public consciousness seems godawful, so I don't have much of an entry point. Favorites include Celan, Trakl, Sexton, Pessoa, Paz, Borges, and Bishop (scattered I know).

I'm trying to pitch a novella, and after failing to find an agent (shocker), I'm looking for small presses that would be interested in a Sebald-ish internet-rabbit-hole structure. Honestly, I don't read much contemporary, so I'm at a loss. Ideas?
