Anything by Hemingway

>>9366910
Something by James Ellroy, where the character sitting next to he girl is a closet homosexual even though he doesn't even know it.

Other male character would have IQ of table.

Girl character, how the hell would I know, I know nothing about female characters that are not stereotypes.

That could be The Big Nowhere.

the truth about the harry quebert affair by joel dicker

Hard Rain Falling

Hystopia is set near the time frame and has a few scenes in a diner. It's not great by any means, but it's better than the usual thriller, with actual good prose.

Jim Thompson novels.

Maybe Raymond Chandler? I dunno, I haven't read him but that's the way people seem to describe him.

How wrong you are

I read Lolita twice, man. And unless you're talking about the pedo bartender staring at the girl's "flower", there's no Lolita in there. But I obviously I asked for literature that feels like that teenage couple in the '50s.

Yeah that was about the jest of it.

The Long Good-Bye (of all the Chandlers) for the former; the latter crosses Loren Eisley's essays about his depression era tramp years with a period novel about children not quite children, Christopher Morley's Thunder on the Left.

Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathanael West.

>>9367456
Fits perfectly, although the story is pretty shit

>>9368441
Does it take place in a bar proper, or on a bar's patio? I can't remember, but do remember some external description..

>>9368452
Patio, I think, although the old waiter leaves the bar towards the End
