Any written works dealing with things like absolute rage and an incredible hatred of existence and pretty much everything? Absurdity/nihilism taking its toll on a very confused, angry, person with an almost infinite amount of unused energy?

also includes brutal deaths of scientists and buddhists would be nice

>you dare tell me to accept reality as it is? I'LL KILL YOU AND DESTROY EVERYTHING

Well, no. You should go write it.

intellectuals, writers, majority of people are pretty passive beings, if they write anything negative its always depressing emo bullshit.

none of them want to fight, they could never fight in the first place.

Whether or not you have a self is unknowable

Hes so handsome, and so articulate, and yet so troubled, he has a terrible pent up rage inside of him. He is almost perfect....but of course nothing is perfect...

[Anonymous No.2894291]

I'm surprised no such works exist.

writers confirmed to be peace loving hippies who like to be fucked up the ass by reality

[Anonymous No.2894292]

American Psycho is pretty much this, at least once you get to the monologue portion of the book, where Patrick explains his behaviour. He's outwardly composed in public, though, so it's not quite the chaotic energy you're describing.

Tried reading Stephen King's Rage, but that was about a kid who had a bad family life and decided to take it out on everyone else. I really haven't been able to find many full-on nihilistic novels; the closest I've seen is existentialist stuff like Nausea and The Stranger.

Go watch There Will Be Blood, I guess.

I can question a soul, but I reject your notion of the self and its nonexistence.

That's why we can't discuss nice things...

yes. i unironically agree with that, especially on /lit/. the fact that a lot of dumb teenagers have dumb opinions about stirner doesn't mean we can't talk about what stirner said, anymore than it does for nietzsche.

Be hard to do without being one-dimensional, I'd think. Hating everything... eh.

The killer inside me - Jim Thompson.

Not exactly unadulterated/abslute rage but rage none the less.

[Anonymous No.2895906]

anything by Louis Ferdinand Celine or early-mid period Wyndham Lewis. I prefer Lewis, though Celine is extremely funny

[Anonymous No.2895915]

>>2895906
almost all of Lewis' stuff is out of print, except Tarr, which was recently published by Oxford World Classics. It is a great book.

The key to good writing is arguing your point well. Teenagers opinions on things rarely have arguments behind them and most amount to "I FEEL THIS WAY AND IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS WHY I FEEL THE WAY I DO"

[Anonymous No.2895976]

The Apes of God is god-tier satire, and pretty nihilistic, at that.

[Anonymous No.2895980]

>>2895957
Sort of. A character's motivations should be sympathetic but any logician could be a good writer if the key was just arguing a point.

[Anonymous No.2895991]

This is probably the most mind-numbingly stupid and uninspired attempt at satire I've read on this board
