Hunter S Thompson, Bukowski, Hemingway, Irvine Welsh.
What style would these authors go by, if any?
Or am I just obsessed with winos?
More authors like this would be appreciated.

>inb4 i'm not american

I would say american journalistic style.
Both thompson and Hemingway were journalist/correspondant, travelling and and covering different kind of event

I don't really know about Bukowski and Welsh (i had saw Trainspotting and Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy) but i know Thompson was really inspired by The Beat generation (Bukowsky and Kerouac especially).

The point is the four had work with/about addiction (Hemingway,Thompson,Bukowski were hardcore alcoholic) and they had travel a lot, so they're also dealing with popsociety and cultural specificity across world/places/events

I think their work is occulted by their sulfurous reputation and by kids saying "this is too cool it deals about drugs", which is the same with beat generation writers, despite in fact they're dealing with human aspect of things

Some authors will be
-The Beat generation (Ginsberg,Kerouac,Burroughs)
-Frederic Beigbeder
-Some books of Dostoievsky

>an author
France knows him mainly because he knows how to seem cool on TV. No one reads his edgy books that are mostly him trying to make us believe he knows about literature and its history; it's just not worth it.

I'm honesty surprised no one mentionned Céline yet, since Bukowski was inspired by his work.
