What are some good books with mentally ill protagonists?

>>8710499
The Bell Jar, though whether that is a good book is pretty subjective.

Dreaming of Babylon

Anything by Dostoyevsky
Anything by Kafka

>>8710507
Name me one Kafka protagonist who was mentally ill other than the hunger artist.

Is there any Dostoyevsky work with a mad but happy protagonist? Ive only read Crime and Punishment

Memoirs of My Nervous Illness

To the White Sea

The killer inside me

All of them.

>(((mentally ill)))
Don't fall for the mental Jew. Only the brain gets ill.

If you have a few hours to kill 'I am the Cheese 'is alright.

This but only if you're willing to compromise on the "good" part.

"A rebours" by Huysmans. The protag might not be mentally ill, but he's definitely strange.

Myshkin is sort of happy sometimes, but mostly crushed by the weight of everything

>>8710505
I'm going to read this book because I like the title

>>8710970
You can buy that exact edition on the NYRB website and it's on sale for 12.76 right now so that shouldn't be an issue.

>>8710971
Except Humbert is mentally ill so the Lolita anon, while probably memeing, still has a point.

>>8710512

the hunger artist wasn't mentally ill he was an artist

>>8711197
>wasn't mentally ill he was an artist

That's an oxymoron ;^)
