Hello, /lit/. I'm looking for recs on books that deal with homosexuality, with characters that hate themselves for it, who cannot accept what they are, or with actual homosexual relationships. I want to read something like this that is not a fucking fanfic.
>inb4 kys
Mystiek lichaam: Een geschiedenis desu
>>8611945
Symposium by Plato.
Confessions of a Mask by Mishima
>>8611953
Oh, sorry, didn't read the whole req.
>>8611945
my diary desu
really :(
>>8611951
I cannot find what the hell this is in English, the translation gives me Mystical Body: A History, but everything about it is talking about Christ.
Earthly Powers - Burgess
Naked Lunch - Burroughs
Hard Rain Falling - Carpenter

Yeah, no translation exists, I guess. I'm sorry op, I just hoped you were (able to speak) dutch
>>8611973
Well, that's too bad. Hopefully one day it'll be translated.
>>8611961
Why would you hate yourself for being a fag? You're not christian or something, right?
>>8611961

>>8611988
Because fags nowadays are degenerates and nothing like the sophistication of Greek fags.
>>8611998
You don't have to be a degenerate just because the stereotypical fags are.

dude I wish I were gay, gay is relationships on easy mode
I dunno, maybe I'm just a pretty-boy, but when I set my tinder to discover both men and women, literally every dude I swiped had swiped me, and not only that they were blowing me up -- for the first time in my life I felt what women must feel all the time, like I didn't have to put in a shit ton of work to get a date

The problem I have with being bisexual is that, in most cases, homosexuals want nothing serious, which is all I'm after. Which is why I almost never have relationships with other men.
Sagitta's Books of the Nameless Love
The Price of Salt by "Claire Morgan" aka Patricia Highsmith
>is Patty-posting a thing now?
>>8611954
Seconded. But Mishima was fucking weird. All guro and Sade-type fetishism. His sexual awakening was watching a peasant carry buckets of shit from the latrine
>>8611954
This interested me very much. Just read about Mishima's life, very interesting as well.
>>8611945

I know precisely what you mean. I'm bisexual and have had more relationships with women but I crave a homosexual, monogamous serious relationship. I dream of a relationship with a man as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally/physically and with the camaraderie and openness that heterosexual relationships lack. But I swear to god I cannot find a decently smart guy that wants to have a long-term thing, they inevitably want to fuck, take ecstasy, and be a raging queen at a club.

What is he actually trying to prove?
Accept it OP.
>>8612662
It'll be about a repressed gay guy who kills people
And then kills himself
>>8611945
Do you mind if the character is lesbian and/or trans, or are you looking strictly for cis gay dudes? If not, I recommend Stone Butch Blues. It's absolutely heart-wrenching.

>pederasty is somehow more sophisticated and less degenerate than Grindr-culture
It literally is.
