Are there any female authors who write in the style of Dostoevski? His bleakness, ugly realism, characters who are self-loathing, etc.
I'm tired of reading about porcelain dolls with love issues. I want existentialist angst and period blood grossness.

Plath?

Oh Patricia Highsmith
Flannery O'Connor maybe
Anna Kavan, maybe…?

Literally every European writer that came after Dostoievsky, look harder.

I am highly interested in this as well
Doris Lessing might be worth looking into, desu senpai.

Those slippers are fucking ugly. I'd rather see her bare feet, if you know what I mean.

>not the biggest porcelain doll with love issues ever
I read her as a depressed 14 yo and turned melancholic from feeling so alienated even from someone who was supposed to be greater than the trivialities
Her suicide doesn't justify shit

You mean like this?

Where do I start?

But I'm American. I don't wanna study SHIT, I don't wanna do SHIT. I don't wanna look up JACK FUCKING SHIT for myself.
DFW is best writer ever, so said 4chan and my teacher

They're not mutually exclusive man. Having love issues is a part of being a grill, she still has gross menstrual shit and existential angst

She has a 14 yo girl's version of existentialist angst. I know, because I was a 15 yo girl with existentialist angst when I read her the first time.

Flannery O'Connor writes truly disgusting characters, reading her made me physically feel revulsion.
Mods should ban everyone that start a thread with pics of beautiful women.

This is a good recommendation. She's not as digressive and 'philosophical' as dosti, but she'll fit thw bill, I reckons.
