I didn't know he wrote anything.

Kierkegaard. Reading his work is often like reading my own thoughts. He puts into words things that I have not yet developed the eloquence to express in the way I desire. The way he lived his life is also incredibly similar to my own in a number of ways.

>>22000987
He has a whole series of books published by Disney press.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Autism Incarnate

>>22001013
He was just a retard, not an autist.

he just like me fr

>>22000979
Kafka, i don't like his books that much but his biography and the letter to his father were relatable.
Sylvia Plath too but less

>>22000979
D.H. Lawrence and I may not be similar in deeds but our thought processes seem to be similar.

>>22001048
this ugly motherfucker circus freak looking degenerate, how I hate that face

>>22000979
Austrian Painter.

>>22001492
He looks a bit schizophrenic IMO IMO

>>22001492
He’s not even ugly. He was even viewed as handsome and was a womanizer.

>>22001498
Well >>22001492 is not a woman

>>22000979
Bataille

>>22001495
nazifag spotted....very edgy....

I don't think this technically counts, but I will go with the burning bush. Being schizophrenic according to the state, I've had numerous episodes where I'm certain Yahweh is using me as a vessel to speak to His flock. I'm also viscerally enamored by arson.

His only weird feature is his goofy ears. His faveis objectively not ugly for a normal person.

Ezra Pound since I was 14, and no, it had nothing to do with politics - In fact, I was a left-wing anarchist back then. (Nowadays I agree with him much more.)
It was the ABC of Reading, which I had seen recommended somewhere as an "introduction to literature" (I was avidly looking for, and reading, such books). I fell in love with his prose and general attitude even before reading his poetry, then read a selection of his poems and to this day he is my one persistent influence, other than the canonical poets of my language (Camões and Pessoa). It's an influence less of style than of attitude and taste, however. I don't write long poems full of quotations.
I credit my early discovery of Pound for the fact that I managed to become a serious poet. Had I discovered him at 18 or 19, it would perhaps have been too late, and I'd already have become something else - probably some beatnik or an outdated sentimentalist. What was even more important than Pound was reading the authors he recommended. I had read a few, such Homer and Dante, but many were unknown to me.

Celine is what chuds think they are, or they would be if they lived in le different time.

>>22000979

>>22000979

Knausgard

>>22001593
Do you look like him? I personally don't like his writings but he's pretty good looking, albeit too skinny

>>22000979
I'm looking for writers similar to Celine, Gass, Gaddis and Bernhard. I mean, anger, hatred and bitterness that they often display - that particular prose-drive, that I find very compelling. Is there anything?

>>22000979
Nietzsche and Huysmans

Honestly, none. I was able to relate to Dostoevsky for a time but he was so much more interesting than I am that he’s not really relatable.

>>22000997
I would read him, but his 4chan fans are all losers

>>22001589
Whatever man. Truth is truth. This is the place where nobody should be condemned for stating their thoughts.
