AEW Mason's The Four Feathers is fucking great. Never see it mentioned. Imperial British travel-adventure stories are fucking great.

Alexander Burnes also

The best thing that ever came out of Sweden.

James Joyce

>>9126624
I'm interested, could you tell us more ? Who could you compare Genet with ? What do his plays provide ?

>>9127228
Same questions here

>>9126767
I used to dislike Vian until I read some novels he wrote as "Vernon Sullivan". That was great., "I'll spit on your graves" deserves more publicity. Some of the short stories are fine too.

Etgar Keret
A genius.

>>9126629
I discovered this guy thanks to /lit/. I don't think I would have heard of him otherwise. Same with Robert Walser. Genet too, come to think of it. But then again, this was in 2012.

>>9126624
Didn't know Iniesta was also a writer.

>>9127255
Any recs? All of his I've read is "What, of this Goldfish, Would You Wish?" and while I guess I didn't hate it, I didn't think much of it.

I shill Genet on every opportunity I get. He's incredibly underrated.

>>9127241
Genet is really good and really gay. He died of throat cancer.

His books are mostly about fags and criminals on the underworld of Paris or prisons during the 1940s. Lots of violence and steamy gay sex with marvelous and florid prose. Somewhat similar to Gide, Céline and Bataille.

Start with Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs.

John Dos Passos

>>9127724
I picked up The 42nd Parallel second hand when a friend said it "seemed like something I would like" according to how his professor described it, but he's mever read it. I'm planning on starting it today, I just finished another book last night. What do you think of it?

I recommend William Inge's "My Son Is A Splendid Driver"

It's a memoir about a literary guy who grows up feeling incapable of living up to the standards of masculinity set by his older brother (the "splendid driver"). Very interesting and rather moving story of a midwestern family

Imagine my happiness when I could buy a used volume of "Des clefs et des serrures" in France. Nowhere to be found. Tournier was as good as a photographer as he was a writer.
