I am looking for novels in which the protagonist has been rejected by society, hates society and all it's people generally or just feels very disconnected from everything. I liked Perfume but I like the free flowing rage of Henry Miller too despite his joy for life. I don't mind if there is misogyny or misandry. I like sadness, despair, bleakness, isolation and melancholy. I don't care what the story is about and I don't care how it ends. Violence is welcome. If there is a random act of kindness that may throw me emotionally, I'm ok with that too. Occasional hope is also acceptable.
Not a novel but Jimmy Corrigan by Chris Ware. Isolated 30-something dead inside shut-in travels cross-country to meet his estranged father and learns he's descended from a long line of timid, sad men.
beautifully illustrated and captures all the little details of rejection and awkward conversation like no other comic before it.
You should look into growing up instead of books.

how does it feel to not be able to recognize greatness? i guess you're one of those people who has to wander around barnes and noble looking for books with gold stars on the cover to know they're reading something "good", stay pleb (and boring)

Come on dude. No memeing. No irony. You don't really think My Twisted World is art right? Just because you can relate to it doesn't make it a profound meditation on the post-capitalist human condition or whatever you soft faggot lmao
>>7395362
>is No Longer Human art then? it's just some faggot that killed himself no big deal
>>7395378
lol.
okay i think we're done here. next time, just stay at r/books

>I can't respond therefore I win
>here's me telling you to go to reddit
Let me tell you something faggot, I wasn't the person you were initially responding to, My Twisted World is a good book to read, not because you are able to identify with it (women hate me blah blah), but because you are able to learn how and what made him become a killer. I know you're probably not a bright fellow, but even I (being a NEET) was able to read into this.
