What makes slavs so ridiculously good at surrealism? In the last century or so, they produced:
>Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky
>Bruno Schulz
>Mikhail Bulgakov
>Victor Pelevin
>More I can't remember because I am too drunk
All of these are absolute fucking masters at the craft, and Bulgakov is the only one who ever even gets mentioned on this board, even then not enough. The more I think about it the less he even seems like a surrealist.
Tell me about your favorite surrealist authors. Poets especially, I don't have a very good background in poetry compared to prose fiction and want to flesh out my bookshelf.

>Be deracinated burger
>Boomer parents hate their dirt-poor families
>They move away from all of them
>Never met the vast majority of them
>Never found out what countries they came to the US from because they've all been here for so many generations and been such fucking bums the whole time that they forgot
>No culture
>No community
>No language
>No big family dinners full of love
>Nothing traditional or homely to fall back on and feel a part of
>Nothing at all

I dated a girl that both loved books and loved listening to me talk about books, she would lay with me while I read and we would walk around for hours while I told her about them and she would ask leading questions trying to get me to ramble
She ended up an emotional wreck addicted to opiates but I don't think I've ever loved anyone else

You've been poisoned by disgusting /r9k/esque rhetoric that has twisted your entire worldview into being about sex. You are in the same mindset as vapid sluts who do nothing but find new people to get fucked by as frequently as possible, but are even more worthless because you turn it into an all-encompassing bitterness.
People can tell that something is seriously wrong with the way you see the world, and it repulses them. It's not about you being ugly. It's about you having a deformed soul.

i am very scared. i would like to make something really good and meaningful but i don't think i am talented enough. from what i have read it seems i have picked up very little because i was not wise enough to understand their importance. things that i once considered beautiful, moving and giving meaning to life seem shallow now and i think it is because my creativity is drying up. now i don't know why to live
