The title seems oxymoronic but I don’t really know how else to describe what I’m looking for.
Id love to read something with similar vibes to Tsukuru Tazaki (Haruki Murakami), Stoner (John Williams) and All Men are Mortal (Simone De Beauvoir). Something existential and grounded in realism (but a little surrealism/magical realism doesn’t hurt). Something sort of bleak and about the mundane ordinary lives of people (i have a thing for books about nothing). Books about lonely people and the everyday in all it’s trivial glamour and despair.
I’m approaching my 20s and have been meaning to get back into reading books again – i started reading those books at a young age, but definitely now that my second decade of life is approaching ever sooner I’ll definitely have a new perspective of these books.
