What books best explore lust? Kierkegaard's either/or does a decent job of understanding the ultimate pleasures of the aesthete. But it does not go deep enough; granted, I read the condensed version. Who else explores lost in depth-am I tragically addicted to pussy as my fatal flaw? I have no real interests in alcohol or drugs, obscene fame and riches, or even power. I feel secure in those things. But it seems Kierkegaard decides to be a Melancholy lil bitch who wishes to be able to believe in God but can't-and instead refrains from aesthetic pleasures by sheer will. Fuck that. I want a book that won't make surrendering my lust feel like a cope. Is pic related any good? Thanks

All there is to say about greatness and flaws of love and relationships -> Belle du Seigneur

2 other top-tier 20th-century writers : Julien Gracq and Albert Cohen. Gracq is great for his writing, maybe a little bit like Henry James but with a touch of surrealism (and some rememberance of german romanticism). Cohen is famos for Belle du Seigneur which is really worth reading ; from a superficial point of view it looks like another 000-pages love story, but it's full of humor, beauty, despair, and smart statements.
