Dutchbros, what do you guys think about José Rentes de Carvalho? We don't care about him in Portugal, but there is a meme that he is somewhat respected and big in the Netherlands. He writes for an online right-wing newspaper very, very occasionally here and I think he won some awards, but that's it

letterlijk wie?

Definitely not. This guy is not famous here. He does seem to have had a successful career and life in the Netherlands. But a quick look at his books shows they're practically impossible to find.

For further reading on Dutch interests in Portuguese literature, look up the writer Slauerhoff, who was obsessed with the writer Camões. He said, although the didn't stricly believe in reincarnation, he did feel like he was the reincarnation of Camões and he wrote a novel about him. In English, "The Forbidden Kingdom". That is all

Holyu shit, hilarious! Good to see people outside of Portugal care about Camoes

A quick perusal of an online second-hand bookstore aggregator shows me that there's a billion paperbacks of his being sold, most priced at literally only a couple euros. Tons of paperbacks that are now nearly worthless usually indicates there was some kind of fad or short lived popularity but no lasting interest.

What do Dutchbro/BelandaBro think of Multatuli and Pramoedya? I somehow really like Max Havelaar, especially it tell the reason why we are easily conquered by them, the king (Raden and Sultan) are greedy bastard just like present day. I also want to read Oeroeg, but the writer is a woman, and I fear the book will simply just Dutch bad, Native good.
