what authors make you feel?
not authors that make your cry or depressed but just make you bitter and unsatisfiedfor me its Stefan Zwieg, his descriptions of a traditional, cultural central Europe before the horrors of war and modernism spoil it all. as a northern Irish person living in a province that has for its whole existence been nothing but a tribal killing ground, I feel disappointed I will never experience such a world

My nigga. Zweig wrote beautifully.
Oh man, I got the same feels from World Of Yesterday, nostalgia for a place I haven't experienced
Cultural Amnesia may be up your boat, it draws heavily on Zweig's world but isn't so much in the feels camp
Lewis' A Grief Observed gave me massive feels too
or Hard Rain Falling
Cynan Jones's descriptions of the bleakness of rural Welsh farm life are based feels.

I'm with you on the Zwieg-wagon. Have you watched The Grand Budapest Hotel? It's inspired by Zwieg's writings, and really gives that feeling of pre-war europe exuberance
zweig a shit, february 22 1942 best day of my life

Every time someone posts Zweig, someone posts that "takedown", and every time I wonder who on earth "Michael Hofmann" is supposed to be

I got this feeling with To the Lighthouse. Fucked me up, man.
The savage detectives
>All those normalfags enjoying their youth while writing poetry, doing drugs and fucking like bunnies
Bolaño did it on purpose, didn't he?
Nic Pizzolatto.
Got into him via True Detective and read his other stuff. Short stories were good but not great. Then I read Galveston.
That fucking novel might be the saddest in existence. Fuckups pining for lives they never could have attained in a world that doesn't want them.

oh shit fan, that's what got me into it, it's my fab film. I can't watch it without getting really bitter about never experiencing such a life. I actually went to Austira this summer and saw Salzbutg. honestly it's exactly like they film, the whole town centre is full of pink and yellow neo-classical apartments. made me sweet inside.

Paul Valery.
I picked an anthology of his poetry yesterday and I'd never read him. I swear that I spent five hours in my living room reading it smiling to myself like an idiot.
It was maybe the best /lit/-related feel that I ever had.

anon pls, my heart hurts enough, I don't need these extra feels
when Zweig was growing up in Vienna, the newspapers all had a section for poetry & philosophy. Vienna was bombed 52 times in WWII; now, there are faggots on the crosswalk signs
>>7517751
Why the fuck would they not just have normal crossing lights?
Please tell me that's just some shitty modern art.
Bill Bryson's book about growing up in the 50s really made me depressed.
>>7517751
Did you read confusion? Zweig was down with the faggots
>tfw you'll never be a respected professor of literature seducing college twinks with poetry

Basically any book that features a main character redeeming him/herself. That's when I look in the mirror and realize that I haven't even done enough with my life to warrant redeeming it.
Examples:
>Acceptance (Vandermeer)
>The Dark Tower (King)
>LA Confidential (Ellroy)
>Infinite Keks (Wallace)

Pratchett made me openly cry with nation.
Palahniuk revulsed me (an old /b/tard) with Guts
Cortazar made me fell in love with La Maga.
Ender's game made me stand in my bed at 4am shaking a fist in triumph and silence when the following day I had to a test for highschool and my family was sleeping.

Culture swings back and forth. The right will rise up once again, and traditional values will see a renaissance. Then, a leftist mindset will counteract once again. No youthful generation finds itself in a society it accepts.

Webdell Berry painted a really nice picture of smalltown early 1900s America in Jayber Crow. The simplicity was appealing.
