I'm writing (why yes, I'm very intelligent) and I noticed I have an anti-romantic style. Any books where the writer is blunt and forthright about existence?

If that's an actual question you are asking, then you should put the pen fucking down and go read more. Stop being so gay and just read.

Post an excerpt so we can know what you mean by "anti-romantic".

Do you really think I haven't read Hilldawg's book? This is on page eleven.

L'Etranger is the obvious non meme answer.

But it's sort of an extreme in that the matter of fact style serves Camus' philosophical and narrative point.

If you want dry but not boring matter of fact style that works, try Asimov.

It's somewhat pessimistic and the character muses about how humanity is constantly striving towards an unseen goal and how everything we do is fruitless

Is this real?
Maybe Nausea by Satre
