I'm looking a book filled with melancholy and the American landscape. Something like Paris, Texas if you've seen that. 20th century if possible. Loneliness would be the mood. Anybody know of something that fits that description?

Just watch spaghetti westerns, they are more Veeky Forums than most books

You're looking for Steinbeck. Check out East of Eden, Grapes of Wrath, and Travels with Charley.

In Cold Blood
is this good? It's like, long and shit
Tyler Roberts
thanks for the suggestion, but not quite so much. I love Steinbeck, but I'm looking for something with a bit more of a contemporary setting, not necessarily dealing with the struggles of the people against the unforgiving terrain, but their isolation from it
Parker Gonzalez
pretty much any book by John Kerouac maybe?
Brayden Perry
Raymond Carver. Unfortunately his descriptions aren't particularly florid, but the mood is there

I haven't read it but Americana by Delillo sounds fit for what you're looking for.
In the Heart of the Heart of the Country by Gass as well.
Jaxson Edwards
delillo, raymond carver, franzen, maybe updike and steinbeck, john cheever, richard yates, zadie smith
Blake Rogers

Listen to pic related and Nebraska
Leo Gutierrez
Can I ask where you got the pic related? It reminds me of an album cover. And it's also stirring a story inside of me; I like the bleakness of it all.

probably from the daily mail, because that's how they format their images

There's a thread about you on here. You are becoming a meme.
Josiah Price
not that user, i want to know morw about htis though
Austin Phillips
it's just one guy, maybe two, who started using Veeky Forums when i wasn't on here as much. they will give up in a couple of days
Dominic Ramirez
Glad to see Carver getting some love. He's pure Americana. I only discovered him recently but there's a lot of understated genius in his stories. I reached the title story of Cathedral today and I know I'm in for something special.
Blake Carter
Angels by Denis Johnson
Hunter Phillips
Cormac McCarthy?
Larry McMurtry?
Stephen Harrigan?
Robert Stewart
This or are the best options

Sam Shepard

Xavier Cruz
better yet, read the book
Lucas Clark
love this meme
Elijah Watson
Do you? This sub-forum is about literature, not movies. And it so happens that the novel Wild At Heart is based on (of the same name) is really good in itself. Stop being so ignorant
