>I don't see how this guy got a Nobel prize.

I don't see how half the laureates get the prize desu.

Easily one of his weaker works. When diving into modiano I always recommend to start with after the circus. Its his most commercial work that also captures what he's all about. His occupation trilogy is not all that good imo. The Nobel was simply given to him for being one of the first to write about France's involvement and compliance with the Holocaust. Though this theme does run through his work - an eerie sense of doing what you must to survive - it works best when it is cast in the background with subtly, which is what modiano does best. If you like after the circus proceed to young once, the cafe of lost youth, or (imo his best) honeymoon. Stay away from Paris nocturne and so you don't get lost in the neighborhood. They're essentially detective novels without detectives. The only reason to read them is to fill in the gaps from his other works, because yes all his novels are connected. Many of them are the same story told in different ways. This is frustrating to some but if you fall in love with modiano's style like I have you'll take what you can get. Imo he is absolutely the best modern author of capturing mood and atmosphere. I just wish he'd write about something else than 60s France or Vichy France. Pay attention to his sentences and you'll find yourself reading about a nonplussed man simply placing his head against a window whilst he describes the raindrops falling onto a sleeping city. And then the next sentence will absolutely wreck you. Modiano doesn't reveal much but when he does, it hits. This turns off a lot of people, especially the /lit/ crowd, but give after the circus a shot op. Hopefully there will be more modiano fags for me to sperg around with

call me a pleb but i have no interest in Faulkner and the pieces of him i have read i find to be the most overrated I've ever come across.

Maybe interesting to analyse but painful to try and read for any kind of pleasure and deeply pretentious overuse of "big" words.

I'll give it a try I guess:

I walked up to the woman in the mirror at the end of the hall. She saw me in the mirror, where we locked eyes.

"You look like my mother" I said, smiling.

"Um thanks." She said, staring at her iPhone screen.

"It wasn't a compliment." I said. She looked up. "Looks like you got a new text." She looked down at her phone. As her face moved down, I gave her a vicious Muay Thai right kick to the side of the head. "Lets fuck" I said. She consensually (ew) pulled Herman pants down. I began fucking her asshole savagely, punching the top of her ass crack. I pulled my dickhole out after ~50 haymakers. Her rectum prolapsed out of her ass like a small pink penis. I began sucking it like a dick. She didn't like it so I kicked her in the head again and continued. Right before I was about to cum a cop walked around the corner. He pulled his gun out but fainted after comprehending what I was doing. I'll fuck him after this bitch

Not sure if Spinoza is relevant. You'll tell us.
The Stoics or Epicurus would be fine.

No.

Šoljan's Kratki Izlet was pretty good. Not Croatian, but Andrić is GOAT, if a bit dry

I bought the return of filip latinovicz as a gift for a friend who's travelling to Europe soon, and visiting her far away relatives because I wanted to give her both a book and something representative of the culture over there. Did I fuck up? Its worth mentioning that not many Croatian books can be bought in Spanish in South America, this was a pretty easy one.

Any other recs for the future?

No you didnt sir. There are also many more great books in the Croatian literature like Kumcic' Zrinsko-Frankopan Conspiracy, Novaks The Last Stipancici and so much more. In my opinion in the eyes of other more cultuely developed conturies like Francesco or Russia they see Croatian literature as weak and poor

Sartre I guess

Herman Hesse's Steppenwolf has a bunch of rad philosophy throughout. Jorge Luis Borges short stories were really influential on the counties so try them out too.
