Second Jane Eyre. But beauty is subjective so i bet Jane's got a real nice rack if Mr. rochester wants to smash nightly

50 Shades of Grey

has no one posted about the PGOAT from IJ yet?

Metamorphosis

>>7897421
We are told, and can see in sculptures of him, how ugly he was. But ugliness, in itself an objection, is among the Greeks almost a refutation. Was Socrates a Greek at all? Ugliness is often enough the expression of a development that has been crossed, thwarted in some way. Or it appears as declining development. The anthropological criminologists tell us that the typical criminal is ugly: monstrum in fronte, monstrum in animo [monstrous in appearance, monstrous in spirit]. But the criminal is a decadent. Was Socrates a typical criminal? At least that would be consistent with the famous judgment of the physiognomist that so offended the friends of Socrates. This foreigner told Socrates to his face that he was a monstrum — that he harbored in himself all the worst vices and appetites. And Socrates merely answered: "You know me, sir!"

I haven't read it but Brief Interviews with Hideous Men sounds related.

Depending on what aspects you are trying to focus on...

The Invisible Man might appeal to you

The ugly duckling

The Ugly Barnacle.

The Bluest Eye

i forget whether no longer human describes the protagonist as ugly or otherwise but the overwhelming impression one gets is of an, if not ugly, but repellent (or perhaps, repelled) individual

there's a lot of poetry about nature that's sort of anthropomorphised and nature is literally the ugliest thing there is

Read Houellebecq's "Extension du domaine de la lutte"... The english title is whatever.

It's an extremely good book about an absolute sadman and his extremely ugly friend who always fails at life just because he's ugly.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned it yet.
