No one cares about WW1.

A few of the most iconic examples:
All Quiet on the Western Front
Johnny Got his Gun
Testament of Youth
Regeneration trilogy
A Farewell to Arms
and a shitload of poetry. Most notable poets were probably Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon.
A lot of it was written by people who actually experienced the war, sometimes during the war, so most of it is bleak as fuck.
