Who are some writers that you enjoy that don't get enough love on /lit/?
I'll start with pic-related. He wrote several novels upon which Bresson based many of his films, like Mouchette and Diary of a Country Priest. Very melancholy novels about the sufferings of provincial people, and how they often are not aware of the vortex of misery they drown in

Sous le soleil de satan - I will never even think of a 16-y-o girl. They're batshit crazy and dangerous.

Mouchette was great, as are his writings on technology.
What's his best?

Monsieur Ouine was my favorite. I think it's translated in english as the Open Mind. Kind of similar to Diary of a Country Priest but more magical realism involved.

Sherwood Anderson. I've only read Winesburg, Ohio but it's enough, he's an incredible craftsman. Going to get into his other books when the semester's over.
