> the most crucial, inspiring works on Paranoia
Don't know about that but Auto-da-Fé has passages dealing with it.

There was a play called Bug by the guy who won the Pulitzer for August Osage County

ain't nobody got time for that

came to post this

The Prisoner & the Fugitive - Proust
Could say The Magus - Fowles but it wasn't very good.
The Hearing Trumpet - Carrington
Solaris - Lem
Invention of Morel - Casares
Trial - Kafka

My definition of paranoia might be a bit too broad.

>>9121596
Dostoevsky's Crime And Punishment - the feverish paranoia, guilt, and rationalising of Raskolnikov after he kills an old woman, and his overcoming of these.

To a lesser extent the anxiety and insecurity of the protag in Notes From Underground, also.

There's a lot of paranoia in Philip K Dick as well.

this just gave me a random thought

what is the difference between paranoia and obsession?

isn't paranoia really just an obsession with the idea that some bad thing is going to happen?

>>9122078
theyre different words with different meanings, just look them up

Prisoner and the Fugitive is great, but holy shit, thar's a lot of pre-reading to work through beforehand.

OP, just read tCoL49 or some other Pynchon; White Noise by DeLillo would probably be good too.

>>9122078
paranoia is a subset of obsession

Look for Dali's writings about the paranoiac-critical method, you might like them.

>>9121598
all of Pynchon actually

I just started reading the Greek novel "Z213: Exit" which, so far, seems relevant and recommended. There is an english translation.

Report on the Blind in On Heroes and Tombs

I've never wanted to fuck her before. When did she lose her hunch back and get a nice ass. Damn lads.

It is the fact that you can only see half of her face. I was also shocked. She is beguiling to say the least.

this just gave me a random thought

what if i put my penis in her vagina

La pista de hielo - Bolaño
>>9121771
>Solaris - Lem
Damn, Solaris is actually accurate in its depiction of paranoia. I remember reading it in a very down period of my life and shit was too real.
The movie is good too. Proof than the wrong faction won the cold war
