A little life has one of the main characters struggling with mental illness and pain, but it's not really a great book and it's not a short reading at all.

If you're into epidemic homosexuality, childhood traumas and self harm then this could be up your alley.

Holy shit there was a book written by a latin-american author about a guy who were unable to forget anything and his life sucked a lot because of this

I can't remeber the name of the book nor the author and this is driving me crazy. Google isn't helping too.

>about a guy who were unable to forget anything and his life sucked a lot because of this
isn't that just eidetic memory?
i would fucking kill to have that

and people with shit memory still remember all the terrible things that happened to them anyway god damn it

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 4 03:21:32 2019 No.12877851 >>12877843 No, it was more like you woke up at 9 am and ate something at 11 pm. To remeber what you ate, you'd have to repass everything that happened from 9 pm to 11 pm. It would took him 2 hours to remember it.

>>12878551
if he is talking photographic memory then he's brainlet since it's never been a thing in humans and most neuroscientists just straight up don't think it's possible, there are some cases of adults with eidetic memories but IIRC they all end up depressed just because of the sheer amount of processing the brain does for memory consolidation during sleep so you end up being in a state of constant tiredness and struggle to know what day it is just because of how fucked your sleep ends up being
