175+ non-Western literature recommendations to diversify your academia, organized by continent + country

I love world literature, and I’ve been frustrated by the lack of representation of it in literature + academia communities on tumblr, so here are some recommendations. I haven’t read all of these myself yet, but the ones I have are excellent and the ones I haven’t come highly recommended from Goodreads and are on my to-read list!

With the exception of anthologies of older works, all of these books were written before 2000 (some literally thousands of years earlier), since I’m less familiar with super contemporary literature. Also, I only included each writer once, though many of them have multiple amazing books. I’m sure there are plenty of incredible books I’m missing, so please feel free to add on to this list! And countries that aren’t included absolutely have a lot to offer as well--usually, it was just hard to find books available in English translation (which all of the ones below are.)

She Who Painted The Medium

This is Julie Bell

She is the wife and collaborator of Boris Vallejo, the artist who produced much of the 90s-era fantasy art, especially Conan the Barbarian and Barbarella also much of the 90s Marvel character art for collector cards, which for our generation is quite significant. If you owned a Marvel superhero card collection with super-realistic features, chances are either Vallejo or Bell painted it.

Bell’s own work produced a broad range of works crossing genres from fantasy art, used futures, and the creatures in the natural world.

She also did work for MTV, Coca-Cola and Nike, and helped in painting the film trailers for National Lampoon’s Vacation, and the Aqua Team Hunger Force Movie.

Throughout the 90s, over 100 fantasy book cover illustrations for science fiction and fantasy magazines were painted by her, 90 of which were done in the 20 years to 2009. If you played a fantasy video game for the SNES, or Sega Game Gear, she most likely painted the game cover.

As you may have noticed, some of the artworks feature not must of the powerful men you’d traditionally in fantasy art, but powerful women as well. Vallejo and Bell liked to depict women who displayed strength, power and athleticism - and modelled the female figures on some of her friends.

In fact, Bell, who was previously a competitive bodybuilder - was herself the model for her own art as well as that of her husband’s. She was her own muse and her own canvas, in paint and in the gym.

Bell was and still is, as passionate about fitness as well as her art. It is these twin passions that fuelled the hyper-realistic figures with such defined anatomies. Her talent made her a notable figure in the fantasy art and comic book scene.

She won multiple awards for her art including several first place awards for the Art Renewal Center, and honorable mentions, multiple Chesley Awards - the award given to recognise science fiction and fantasy artistic works, and the Socity of Animal Artists Southwest Editors Choice Award.

She currently resides in Beaumont, Texas, continuously working on her paintings, although her work has recently had more of a focus on the natural world.

Her sons - Anthony and David Palumbo is also a fine artist in his own regard, David in particular, produced work for Magic: The Gathering as well as Heavy Metal Magaine, gaining clients from Tor.com to Lucasfilm, by way of Marvel.

In short, Julie Bell has an enduring influence on popular culture, one that covers an entire generation from everything ranging from board games to film.

8 SPD Books Regarding Song

In This Month's SPD Clickhole by Lizzy Lemieux

The other day I saw that Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness had made its way back onto the (or at least, some) charts, despite coming out SEVEN years ago. This begs important questions, namely "Is Hot Girl Summer canceled???", and if so, "How many Reese's Peanut Butter Cups can I eat in bed while rewatching Euphoria before summertime sadness turns into year round chronic depression?"

Basically, good music has a staying power. Even bad music has a staying power. (I just saw EW put out a "Friday" themed playlist to celebrate Rebecca Black's viral video released in 2011.) I'm not sure why. Maybe because we project our emotions onto it and factor it into our personal identity. Maybe because it marks important life events, i.e. weddings, breakups, funerals. Maybe because some songs trigger certain memories. For me, Hozier recalls the Staten Island Ferry. Dynamite conjures a middle school assembly.

Which brings us to this month's handpicked theme: Song. From John Lennon to Buzzcocks to Nicki Minaj to Bob Dylan, these 8 books will get lyrics stuck in your head and help you ace Lana Del Rey trivia bowls (if they aren't already a national event, can anybody get on that?)

Lana Del Rey: Her Life in 94 Songs (Squint Books, 2016): Lana Del Rey is elusive. She seems to inhabit an "violently kitsch" other-world. As Mannan, whose thesis was on "academic notions of authenticity in 'Born to Die'", writes in his forward, "I find myself in [her world] too-- sad and sexual and slipping between reality and another time." The book feels like liner notes, if liner notes traced the artist's origin back to demos and Elizabeth Grant and considered how the music industry and her poetic predecessors shaped her verse.

Leadbelly (Verse Press/Wave Books, 2005): From Pulitzer Prize winning author Tyehimba Jess comes Leadbelly, a poetic unearthing of the blues and folk singer Huddie William Ledbetter, better known as Leadbelly. Voices of multiple speakers weave together and layer the narrative, beginning with Leadbelly's mother and father and moving to his wife Martha and folklorist John Lomax. Poems which appear as dialogue allow the reader to listen in on conversations between famous artists, and others innovative forms, like the contrapuntal, invite the reader to lend their voice in personal performance.

Collected Lyrics: Pete Shelley (Eyewear Publishing, 2018): For the first time Pete Shelley's lyrics, from both Buzzcocks and from his solo career, are collected in a single volume. Spanning over 40 years, allowing readers to return to Punk's first wave and to the singer himself who passed in 2018. Collected Lyrics also includes an introduction by Buzzcocks’ seminal designer Malcolm Garrett.

Cuntry (Trembling Pillow Press, 2017): Entirely uncensored and graphically shameless, Kristin Sanders poetry collection considers the nearly universal objectification of the female body, rendering the seemingly separate worlds of country music and porn as parallel universes. Sanders identifies each genre's female ideal, or, female "object". "The cuntry object has to a good one-- a very good girl", Sanders writes, making us to wonder, what makes a girl good? Many of the poems in "Cuntry" respond to existing country songs while responding to our questions about the female object herself. In "Daddy's Money Sung by Ricochet", Sanders upacks the hidden criteria for goodness found in the lines, "She's got her daddy's money, her mama's good looks. More laughs than a stack of comic books." Among those criteria? A cuntry girl must be: American, White, a child of a two parent household, etc.

Album (Wendy's Subway, 2019): Album is a Mariana Valencia autobiographical solo-performance encapsulated in a book, compiling song, dance, and text. The reduction of an auditory and visual experience to a singularly visual creates a unique form in which musical direction floats in the margins and an entire section, entitled "THIS IS WHAT I LOOK LIKE WHEN I DANCE FOR MYSELF IN FRONT OF YOU", is devoted to black and white cut-and-paste freeze-frames on pale pink paper.

Elizabeth Ellen Poems (Short Flight/Long Drive Books, 2018): Elizabeth Allen muses on music's saturation of our daily lives. From driving with the radio on, to asking our dates their favorite song, and judging them accordingly. In this 400 page collection Elizabeth Ellen riffs off songs by Nicki Minaj, Bob Dylan, Elliott Smith, and Riot Grrrl, using them as abstract entrance points into personal narrative on marriage, motherhood, and mental illness.

UnNatural Music: John Lennon and Yoko Ono in Cambridge 1969 (Allardyce, Barnett, Publishers, 2016): "I do not have to tell you have disgraceful John's attitude was and Yoko's is", opens Anthony Barnett's concise tell-all on the famous coupling who bridged the avant-garde and pop-worlds. Barnett has long kept silent on the experience of producing Lennon's first public performance away from The Beatles, "UnNatural Music". This book serves to "set the record straight" though personal narrative, contemporary documents and ephemera.

Yr Skull A cathedral (Publishing Genius Press, 2018): Param Anand Singh's Yr Skull A Cathedral is cacophony/symphony, an amalgamation of voices sourced from Hellraiser to Rumi in internet acronyms and traditional poetic forms. At the risk of being reductive, it is a collection of poetry which takes the form of sapphics, ghazals, translations and song lyrics. Among the source material are poems by Lorca, Alfonsina Storni, Gurdas Maan, Rumi, Bhai Nand Lal Ji, Caetano Veloso, Cesar Vallejo, and the authors own band, Nuclear Power Pants.

Blooming Sun lo nuevo de Queens of the Stone Age

“‘Blooming Sun’ es una meditación en la ley de represalias, pero también una anécdota del culpable y la víctima”, dice el baterista Anthony Vallejo sobre la canción. “Cuando uno se entrega a una noche de abandono imprudente impulsado por la botella, el otro se extrae más allá del plano físico y está sujeto al desgaste de la existencia corporal postrado en el vacío”. (Whatever you say, dude.)…

“Annette Miller stands at her house, a three-bedroom, two-story structure built at the turn of the last century that her grandparents purchased in 1964.

From this perch, Miller has watched as the block—and the entire west side of Oakland—has changed over the decades. She can disentangle its history like an evolutionary biologist. During the Great Recession, houses were bought and lost to banks at some of the highest foreclosure rates in the entire Bay Area. Then those houses were scooped up by real estate men who paced the sidewalks and rarely smiled. Buildings were emptied out, murals painted over. Fences went up. Rent went up—by 71.5% over the last five years. Way back in 2001, SFGate called the neighborhood “deliciously attractive” because its “poverty and misfortune preserved a rare sort of purity and beauty,” as if it were a forbidden, primitive fruit. Later, the real estate men would try to take a bite out of Miller, too.

“The story of Miller’s block is the story of an Oakland in upheaval. Private money has crept ever outward from the city’s prosperous hills, flooding lowland neighborhoods that had long been neglected and uprooting the very people who had survived that neglect. In less than a decade, the white population in Miller’s neighborhood has more than doubled, from 14 to 33 percent, while the black population has dropped from 50 to 39 percent. Yet while rents and home prices have skyrocketed, poverty has endured: Nearly 43 percent of the neighborhood’s residents remain below the poverty line, including 58 percent of its children.”

HEZEKIAH ALLEN, 70 722 30th St. Here from 2005 to 2017; moved to Fruitvale in August 2017

The notice from the landlord arrived on Hezekiah Allen’s door on August 31, 2016. “We appreciate your residency at 722 30th Street over the past few years,” it began, politely enough. There was a problem, however. The landlord wasn’t receiving a “fair return” on his investment, and the solution, documented by an inscrutable spreadsheet that cited capitalization rates of other Oakland properties, was to raise Allen’s monthly rent from $856.98 to $2,183.81. “The new rent,” the landlord wrote, “is still about 10% below the market value.”

TANYA RETHERFORD, 29 722 30th St. Here since February 2018

Last August, Retherford and a group of fellow artists and designers who call themselves 30 West signed a five-year lease on a vacant industrial building on the corner of 30th and West Streets. A month earlier, the collective had been evicted from another West Oakland warehouse, itself a casualty of the citywide crackdown in the wake of the 2016 Ghost Ship fire. On 30th Street they hoped to create a model for future artist collectives by legally converting the building into seven art studios and 11 bedrooms.

While she waits for the warehouse to open, Retherford has become the block’s newest resident. In January, she spotted an ad on Craigslist for the top floor of a duplex across the street from the future home of her collective. “Completely Re-Done,” it said. “GORGEOUS ARCHITECTURE!!” A month later, she moved in. It was Hezekiah Allen’s old unit. The rent was $3,095.

“It wasn’t until the early 2000s that Miller noticed the neighborhood starting to whiten. In 2005, her friend Anthony sold his two homes across the street for $655,000 and moved to Vallejo. The properties were flipped and sold a year later for $840,000. Then came the implosion of the mortgage market. The bank repossessed the buildings, which were then bought for the bargain-basement price of $125,000 in 2009 by a Piedmont real estate investor named Justin Wallway. Miller didn’t realize it at the time, but that was a tipping point. As the Great Recession unfolded, investors on the block bought up more foreclosed buildings, betting on a recovery: a four-unit building for $255,000 in 2011, a duplex for $180,000 in 2012. In the last decade, at least half of the buildings on the block have been sold, and in the last several years, prices have rebounded, then soared. In 2015, a single-family home sold for $510,000. Last year, a duplex on the corner went for $800,000. The most recent sale, last October, was of a single-family house that went for $825,000. Redfin now estimates the house to be worth $954,000. It won’t be long before the block has a million-dollar home. The rest of the neighborhood has followed the same path. According to estimates by Trulia, the average home price in Hoover-Foster jumped by 260 percent over the past five years—from $270,000 to more than $700,000—more than double the rate of Oakland overall.”
