So I'm getting into /lit/ again after years and I'm having a hard time with it, I tried starting with Dostoevskij but it's too heavy and long for now. This period I'm quite depressed and apathetic, I need something emotional, something strong, maybe with a mundane urban setting, a book with light moments but not shallow and superficial. Something that will make me love literature and life again. Thank you very much for your time

Crime and Punishment seriously is probably the best book for you right now, if that's what you're dropping maybe you should try a different translation. Which Dostoyevsky/translator are you reading right now?

Read some Italo Calvino

White Nights is a short story by Dost that fits all your criteria.

Norwegian Wood
White noise, but doesn't have many light moments

Does anyone have any suggestions for novels that literally capture the aesthetics and feeling of The Tatami Galaxy?
I haven't seen it since The Great Anime Fallout of 2014, so my memories of it are quite vague. All I remember is that it was quite fast paced, and every episode left you in a blur.

Lispector's Agua Viva. It's short, but read it slowly and just let it all soak in.
