Darkness Visible by William Styron

>>19506645
Literally how? My main takeaway after reading it was that the author was a closeted homosexual.

my diary desu

>>19507876
This but in reverse.

>>19507839
Literally incel core

>>19507839
kashiwagi's philosophy was pretty much the blackpill

>>19507601
yes, Wilhelm Weiblinger was a student who befriended him during his life in the Tower and wrote a short book about it. It's a fascinating read, strongly recommend it.

>>19507996
Are you implying all incels are closeted homosexuals? I don't think that's right, somehow, considering all they ever talk or think about is women.
>>19507999
I don't know what that is.

>>19506380
I heard there was this play that everyone who has read it descended into madness. I think it was called The Yellow King or something similar.

>>19506645
Didn’t know incel core could be so good.

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. The closest has been Moby Dick but so far nothing lives up to a certain manga of all things.

>And then he opened the door to reveal the horrifying visage of....A SPANIARD!!!!

>>19510179
>Go look how many people on /r9k/ are becoming homosexual everyday
But why?

Not really a descent but there's a scene in American Psycho (which is ten times better than the movie) where Patrick is roaming the streets while foaming at the mouth.

>which is ten times better than the movie
I doubt

Unless you lead a sheltered existence or live in a virtual bubble the X factor of flux will inevitably throw things into disorder at some point, regardless of how ordered your life may have been prior to this; the important thing is what you do with the mad you feel; how you subtain chaos, mediate, and acquire purepressed experience.

Anything by Lovecraft and anything from the French decadent movement. Also No longer human is great at this.

I want to masturbate by having mental dialectical discussions like platonic dialouges. Don't refute my coping mechanism mr. wittgenstein, it hurts
