That's exactly what happened to this guy kek

Really resonated with the essays of Von Kleist (On the Marionette Theatre, the gradual production of thoughts whilst speaking). They struck something in me that nothing else has struck, some super specific node that gave me answers I was seeking that I didn't even quite know how to phrase the question to.

Any recs of a similar nature? I'm thinking of reading some Schelling and perhaps some Fiche. Where should I start with them?

how can this essay by mr Kleist be explained in an anthropological context?

Not strictly fantasy and not scientific fiction. But maybe, lacking anything substantive and NEW in those genres, some might be interested in this guy I just ten minutes ago learned about:
>Bernd Heinrich Wilhelm von Kleist (18 October 1777 – 21 November 1811) was a German poet, dramatist, novelist, short story writer and journalist. His best known works are the theatre plays Das Käthchen von Heilbronn, The Broken Jug, Amphitryon, Penthesilea and the novellas Michael Kohlhaas and The Marquise of O. Kleist committed suicide together with a close female friend who was terminally ill.
Or maybe German Romantic fiction writers as a genre? I have no idea what I'm taking about. But...

Wild, huh?
Bang! Bang! I shot my baby down.

I'm reading, "WILD NIGHTS!!!! Stories about the Last Nights of Poe, Dickenson, Twain, James and Hemingway" (fiction) and anyways the first (Poe, didn't you read the title?) has a bunch of references to authors I've never heard of. Cautiously optimistic about the rest of the book. I'm sure most of Joyce's jokes and references breeze right over my cantelope sized head. Again, you snappy literary bashers might enjoy it...probably even than I am. As for me ill just say that JCO is a good un, sho nuff and leave it at that.
