some kind of flavour-of-the-month, postcolonial literary fiction written by some marginalised and/or handicapped native.

Coffe Table Books on their favourite art movement/artist/architect.

Travelguides. Lots and lots of travelguides.

Normie-tier crime novels and pop ficition.

These pictures remind me: I am a virgin. I will die subsumed in my virginity. It will be a death that would have been considered sad if it had occurred perhaps fifteen years before. There will be grief, but all the agonies that my progenitors might pass into (being as they are the only people in this entire world who even know of my existence) will be underpinned by this indomitable truth: it is a mercy that he is gone. The quantity of my existence stands only as a component for perpetuating the tortuous quality of the cheap jest that constitutes its vapid manifestation. To be a virgin is...to be dead and living to see this death, and to be permeated by all the possible humiliations that such a life and ending could aggregate. Bataille's great cry was to achieve Continuity and to be able to Observe this Continuity, since the hypostatic characteristic of all individuality is Discontinuity and life, in Bataille's view, is one endless(ly painful) attempt to reestablish that Edenic state of Continuity from which we've fallen. For him there were two means by which this might be accomplished: death and the orgasm. Both seem pale, sick ephemeral abstractions of a forgotten language that my body once shouted in ecstasy, and knows now only as an arid murmur. My orgasms were always solitary achievements, mockeries that insisted upon reasserting the abject hopelessness of my situation the nanosecond their white effulgence had passed. My consciousness soon tired of them. Masturbation became merely the corpse of a habit that no longer instilled pleasure, no longer even succeeded in distracting, but became only the dull libidinal twitch of a mind faced with the irrepressible impossibility of its reality, while lacking the courage to galvanize itself towards rectification. In the end I do not seek repentance. The decimated husk of my ego drifts towards the only gray shore its virginity-shackled mind can still vaguely form, still vaguely know as whisper or faint wriggling worm in an unclear wound--worm's whisper out of a wound that clears: Death. Here is the Telos to which the entirety of my Being has been speeding. Here I shall sink at last, unrequited, into the tentacles of Annihilation's amnesia. At last, the inconsequential blip that referenced Myself whenever it imagined 'I Am' shall find, not rest, but an end to the sequence of caustic images that only ever taunted it into further depths of Hell's sardonic pitch. No prostitute can relieve me of my virginity, for it has become a magnificently metaphysical lesion that I lack the medicine or Savior's name to remove and, like that man a the pool of Bethesda, take up my carpet and walk into the world again

Stoner was actually #1 on the Dutch bestseller list for a couple weeks in a row ago after it was translated into Dutch for the first time and a famous writer talked about it on one of the big talkshows.
