Can you recommend any authors of literary fiction with conservative and/or reactionary themes?
>>7870668
Why yes, yes I can, OP. You should especially look into the works of Dostoevsky.
>>7870668
Dosto, Gass, Gaddis (only socially for gaddis).

Aren't his works purely non-fiction?
>Lawrence
>conservative
wwwwhat?
>>7870712
Yeah, Lawrence may seem conservative to our enlightened 21st century selves but he was pretty controversially progressive in his day
>>7870668

The Plumed Serpent, the Kangaroo and Aaron's Rod arguably have authoritarian themes.
>>7871000
>>7871038
What?
>>7870668
Flannery O'Connor, Gene Wolfe, Graham Greene, G. K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc are essential anglo conservative authors.

Does Huysmans count? I've only read À rebours, but those rants against the bourgeoisie, hoo boy!

does he really think NK is a socialist state?
>>7871043
>The Plumed Serpent
>critics have seen The Plumed Serpent as having political or fascist overtones, and as expressing Lawrence's fears about the decline of the white race and belief in women's submission to men.
Sounds hot lel
But the only DH Lawrence book I read was about a young man feverishly torn between two young women, and with an Oedipus complex to boot. I seem to remember one of the girl characters being sort of "liberated" and "modern," almost a tomboy. The young man, Paul I think, was pretty diffident towards all the women in the book. The father is a bit of a cretin too, not exactly a male role model, although I found myself sympathizing with him towards the end.
When did Lawrence get redpilled? I'm talking about Sons and Lovers btw.
Houellebecq of course.
Go for Atomised.
>It is interesting to note that the "sexual revolution" was sometimes portrayed as a communal utopia, whereas in fact it was simply another stage in the historical rise of individualism. As the lovely word "household" suggests, the couple and the family would be the last bastion of primitive communism in liberal society. The sexual revolution was to destroy these intermediary communities, the last to separate the individual from the market. The destruction continues to this day.
Evelyn Waugh is reactionary as hell, but actually is awesome. Early Solzhenitsyn is pretty good.

I just read about Waugh's reactionary politics in the WSJ. Seems like he's worth a look.

Tankies have more in common with conservatives than they do with other socialist desu.

No he wasn't. Lady Chatterley's Lover was sexually explicit and he was transgressive in that sense, but he was a stone cold reactionary.

>control of the means of production is held exclusively by the government
Isn't North Korea about as socialist as reality allows?
>>7876658
Not at all. State controlling the means of production isn't socialism not matter how many ML's claim "muh dictatorship of the proletariat mothafucka"
>>7876662
Stop moving the goal posts, commie.
>>7870668
Strindberg, especially Black Banners and the short story collection Getting Married
I also recommend Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Léon Bloy and Thomas Bernhard to some extent (he's managed the amazing feat of being despised both by the left and the right in his country)
I recommend Snow Country and Thousand Cranes, both are basically about how the conservative convenances of Japanese society are turning the lives of people into shit with both characters being too retarded to stop conforming to them.
I'm sure you will enjoy that.

Graham Greene is not a conservative. He was literally a fucking communist, despite his theoretical Catholicism.
