You mean contemporary?

I'd also like to know of any areas like this so that I can avoid them at all costs.

Yo man, if Scotland leaves the UK, come to Glasgow and we can Hellenize the west end.

As of now, probably one of those faggy North American cities like Austin or Vancouver, where people wear beanies and ride bikes and shit

Jerusalem
On The Edge
The Combinations
Bottom's Dream
My Struggle
Animal Money

I am certain that there are other fine gems if you bother to look

Good picks. I'll just specify that "On the edge" is Chirbes

>>8699640
Bottom's Dream isn't really a book of the 2010s though is it?

>>8699309

Be born in the late 18th century.
Oh wait, you're 200 fucking years too late.

I am unable to identify with people to any significant degree because I feel so detached from my physical form.

Role models are for children

/lit/ hates nobody

/lit/ hates everybody

/lit/ only hates itself

Fine. No.
We do need a new general crit thread though so go ahead.

Well I got this new idea for a post-apocalyptic world story and it's about this lawman who tries to keep the peace in a lawless world and he deals with things like occultists, and bandits and crazy stuff like that kinda like the game fallout or the book the road

Dude wakes up one day and is convinced he is actually dead, and what he is living is what hell is (lost his job, wife, kids). Hillarity ensues until he kills himself and actually goes to hell.

Write in your mother tongue. If you're a native English speaker who sucks at it anyway, read a lot and write a lot. Both will help. There is no real useful how-to write other than just doing it. The best advice I can give is make sure you aren't doing it lazily, put real effort into improving every time you write, make your practice count.
