/lit/ - Literature

Bump, I want titles like this too.

>>14942499

I'd suggest some books on magic realism like hundred years of solitude. Maybe also the Steppenwolf

>>14942608
Looks like my gf.

>>14942499

>>14942830
magic realism is a good idea but only if you're willing to be at least a bit knowledgeable on Latin American culture/history. Not that it's indispensable to appreciate regardless but it will be much more rich

>>14942883
fyi the spics are the only ones that have created actual lit in the past half a century
you mongolid

>>14945004
yes, definitely lovecraft.

My god he is so good, i recently started reading him. Once more i have to accept how absolutely shit /lit/ is at reading and how i should never let this drive me away from an author. He is like Huysmans. The aesthetic decadence, the excessive sensual overdrive in his descriptions. A true post-romantic writer.

Yes, and it sucks. The colonies were a mistake.

>Marcel Schwob (Book of Monelle, anything)

>>14942499
I would read Hebdomeros if I were you. Read the Paul Eluard manuscript at the end of the book first though.

>>14942608
This book is a piece of shit. Breton writes like a scholar, not a poet.

>>14946210
It rocks.

>>14946208
Thanks for pointing to my thread
I realized just how unappreciated his works are in current times had to shine light upon /lit/

>>14946056
have you read the two page azatoth? its very emotionaly impactful and pretty obviously about his own situation and need for escape.

and of course there is beyond the wall of sleep wich hides behind a veil of cosmic horror a story about a frenship.

woke, I hate how almost all of the discussion about Lovecraft is limited to his cthulu shit and how he was racist, when imo his best work is his more dreamlike stories (a lot of these are also blatantly aping Lord Dunsany who is also a good suggestion)

also the the first couple pages of The Silver Key is quite /lit/erally me

>>14946711
The dream quest of unknown kadath is one of the comfiest works I've ever read. Great for hot summer nights with the windows open and listening to dungeon synth.

>>14947028

>>14947089
Depressive Silence - Depressive Silence II
Arguably the best dungeon synth release ever recorded.

Hey, a mention of Huysmans out in the wild and for the reasons I love his writing. Nice. Guess I need to read Lovecraft then.

Have you read Proust? I feel like he's the light/"good" side of Huysmans. His descriptions of everything esp. nature are just as intricate but instead of nightmarish it's joyful. I usually am not especially affected by optimistic stuff but Proust is just something else. I'd recommend him to OP as well since his descriptions seem to touch on some kind of intrinsic essence of the thing and it's often very magical.

>>14945009
This is a good list

Chants du Maldoror

Chevenghur maybe

>people recommending Lovecraft
I'm looking for dreamlike rather than nightmarish.
