Something by Cormac McCarthy maybe. But I always loved how A Clockwork Orange was written.

In English: Moby Dick
In Italian: Invisible Cities
In Spanish: I'm actually going to say 100 Years in spite of Quixote

one hundred years of solitude

fucking marquez dude. i don't know how he did it

>>7387649
gravitys rainbow. it was never too confusing for me like most made me believe, it all just flowed together so well.

i also prefer salinger with how pleasantly simple he is, as well as bukowski and hemmingway.

>>7387667

Good choice

>>7387823

Also good choice

For me, either Under the Volcano by Malcolm Lowry or The Waves by Woolf. Third place would be The Recognitions, fourth would be The Savage Detective.

>>7387649
Something by Tolstoy. Probably War & Peace at its best.

>>7387988
Under the Volcano is fantastic when you get used to it. To The Lighthouse is my favorite Woolf, but I've yet to read The Waves. I've only read Bolano in English, so I feel I don't truly know his prose, but By Night in Chile is amazing.

>favorite prose
>names something he read in translation

No device to measure, no word can define. I mean what I'm trying to say is how can I express – let alone possess?
>SERIOUS AS A HEART ATTACK

>>7387649
Ulysses ofc.

>>7388283
>By Night in Chile is amazing.

Good taste. It's the only thing I've read by Bolano (unfortunately) and it's fantastic. The bit where he gets drunk with the critic and he starts coming onto him is one of my favourite comic scenes in literature.

>>7387649
Recognitions, Moby Dick, Gravity's Rainbow.

murphy by samuel becket or lolita

Ulysses. If you disagree you just haven't read it.

>>7387955
any part in particular?

>>7387649
Heart of Darkness and The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man were really enjoyable in this aspect.

This

>Bag of corpsegas sopping in foul brine. A quiver of minnows, fat of a spongy titbit, flash through the slits of his buttoned trouserfly. God becomes man becomes fish becomes barnacle goose becomes featherbed mountain. Dead breaths I living breathe, tread dead dust, devour a urinous offal from all dead. Hauled stark over the gunwale he breathes upward the stench of his green grave, his leprous nosehole snoring to the sun.
