What are some good books with mentally ill protagonists?

The Bell Jar, though whether that is a good book is pretty subjective.

Dreaming of Babylon

Anything by Dostoyevsky
Anything by Kafka

Name me one Kafka protagonist who was mentally ill other than the hunger artist.

Pic related, about all of them.

Mein Kampf

DESU

Is there any Dostoyevsky work with a mad but happy protagonist? Ive only read Crime and Punishment

Memoirs of My Nervous Illness

To the White Sea

The killer inside me

All of them.

>(((mentally ill)))
Don't fall for the mental Jew. Only the brain gets ill.

If you have a few hours to kill 'I am the Cheese 'is alright.

This but only if you're willing to compromise on the "good" part.

"A rebours" by Huysmans. The protag might not be mentally ill, but he's definitely strange.

>dostoyevsky
>happy
>ever

if you can find a copy

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Almayer's Fooly

for woman but ok. if you're young you might like it

very good recommendation. it's about the guy who's not crazy, but does everything in opposite to normal

get the fuck out of Veeky Forums. the memes are boring, you either are unable or unwilling to discuss anything. pure cancer.

My diary desu

Myshkin is sort of happy sometimes, but mostly crushed by the weight of everything

I'm going to read this book because I like the title

You can buy that exact edition on the NYRB website and it's on sale for 12.76 right now so that shouldn't be an issue.

Except Humbert is mentally ill so the Lolita user, while probably memeing, still has a point.

the hunger artist wasn't mentally ill he was an artist

>wasn't mentally ill he was an artist

That's an oxymoron ;^)

The New Testament

Is that Micolash?

infinite jest

Did you actually read the story? The whole point was that he did what he did because he hated food and eating.

I think its Laurence

The Art Of The Deal and its many sequels

The Blind Owl

This

U shuld right fir John oliver faggot

i never promised you a rose garden

Diary of a Madman by Gogol.

Despair by Nabokov
his most underrated book imo

Honestly I would bet a few hundred dollars the man is somewhere on the autism spectrum

Three cheers for Karamazov!

I guess im #MentallyHill now!
