Currently on my "to-read" list, going through Dostoevsky quite slowly but steadily. But I need something darker, something more gut-punching

Better Never to Have Been is semi-related touches on the subject of suicide. Probably the darkest I've read.

>Better Never to Have Been argues for a number of related, highly provocative, views: (1) Coming into existence is always a serious harm. (2) It is always wrong to have children. (3) It is wrong not to abort fetuses at the earlier stages of gestation. (4) It would be better if, as a result of there being no new people, humanity became extinct.

All of my "yes". Thanks for the recommendation!

You mean "Confessions of a Mask" or that tetralogy of his?

You can't do a book called Suicide then not do it afterwards

any of the post-war japanese authors desu. their entire country committed sudoku and their god-emperor abdicated the throne. the darkest one i've read was osamu dazai's "no longer human," but that may be because i'm in a similar situation.

Oh, nice suggestion, thank you very much! Shame I can't get it any time soon

>>9925841
Good call. I actually haven't considered that

If by experimental novel you mean something in the realm of the absurd then perhaps something by Kōbō Abe or Kafka? "The Woman in the Dunes" was pretty interesting to me personally. South-Americans have a lot of weird surreal stuff as well.

Good call. As far as I can see it's a "my" kind of book

The Sorrows of Young Werther.

Supposedly it got Goethe into legal/censorship trouble because it seemed to idealize suicide. Also it's about unrequited love and sad-boy incel stuff so 4chan loves it
