Books that are about madness and insanity?

...

My diary desu.

The Anatomy of Melancholy by Robert Burton

actually serious answer:
Kafka's novels (except Amerika)
>but it's content madness not the stereotypical crying, hair uprooting insanity

A lot of Lovecraft's works.
Some books by Laiseca

>Lovecraft
I-isn't he jsut a meme though.
Please an honest answer I am sick of lit being ambiguous and the short parts I read seem nothing unique.
Help me.

Memoirs of My Nervous Illness by Daniel Paul Schreber

just see for yourself retard, he wrote short stories

Don't worry, I'll tell you what to like and dislike: Dislike HP Lovecraft.

Valis

Several works of Dosto: The double for example
Omensettler's luck
Private memoirs and confessions of a justified sinner.

Honestly its very entertaining. But it depends on you if you like it or not. Just read a couple of his short stories or a novella and try it yourself. I do like him very much

The Old Testament

what interests you the most about the mad and insane?

Basically any Dostoyevsky

Isnt every book about madness and inanity?

This is a good one.

Holy.....

I'll keep shilling this until it becomes a Veeky Forums meme

Phaedrus

A Journey Round My Skull by Frigyes Karinthy

Even though it's not explicit, I think that Beckett's trilogy could be seen as dealing with insane characters.

Not a meme at all, genuinely one of the best writers I've read
Try
The Colour out of Space
The Rats in the Walls
The Horror at Red Hook

Dude Foucault Lmao
