Bukowski, Thompson or Wagner.

>>21894146
where should I start with Bukowski he seems to be all over the place

[Anonymous No.21894190]

The White Dominican by Gustav Meyrink (esoteric heartbreak) (actually many of his books have this theme, it's just strongest in this one)

The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe

Hamlet by Shakespeare (Ophelia)

The Robbers by Schiller

Also some older and more dense types:
The original Nibelungenlied
Cligès

These are only those I know and like. Non-extensive.
>Love without fear and trepidation is like a fire without flame or heat, a day without sunlight, a comb without honey, summer without flowers, winter without frost, a sky without a moon, or a book without letters.
