is Tao Lin actually any good? I've seen people say he's OK, and other people say he's trash.

I think hes good but read his poetry first. At first youll think its shit but its more nuanced and carefully composed at second and third glance.

If you want a philosophical solution:
The Myth of Sisyphus by Camu
If you want a novelInfinite Jest by DFW
Unironically
>>8047780
If you want to find hope:
The Book of Job.
The Death of Ivan Ilyich - Tolstoy (You need to realize that Ivan led a mediocre and blank life but died so we can live and realize life is not meant to be lived following what others expect of you
If you want more despair:
Journey to the end of the Night - Celine
The Clown - Böll
Against the Grain - Huysmans
Hunger is also a good book in any case.

I'm disappointed in you.

I didn't read it in english, neither in russian.
So I can't help you with that.

Anyhow, for what I could gather on /lit/ apparently there is a couple of translators that shared letters with Tolstoy and it seems they are the best one.
omni pls dont do it

>>8047966

When is this meme going to end? I am tired of people acting like there is some sort of formula that proves life is not worth living. I sure as hell haven't seen it.

Does it bother anyone else that he protagonist author stand-in doesn't end up killing herself but Plath did? Like it kind of invalidates whatever resolution Plath makes in the book because they apparently weren't good enough even for her.
