Any good books with the main characters being narcissists or psychos ?

I was going to say.

On that note, does anyone sometimes wonder just how BEE managed to shit out American Psycho? All his other works are mediocre at best, but American Psycho is unironically a masterpiece. It's the "voice of a generation" for Ellis' generation, and nothing else comes close. Is it just that every writer, even a shitty one, has at least one truly great novel in them?

Harry, A History by Melissa Anelli

This lad gits it. Filth is truly a fucken beast eh a novul pal. The protagonist is a proper weapon. Amagine begsbie but with a badge. Utter mental Ken?

can I just say "AHAHAHA" to having Ariel Pink as the post image. I see him around in LA a lot, he's a manlet with a hardcore Napoleon complex. Great music, tho.

Broken Empire series. It's fantasy though

What?

I was in a Ariel Pink show at my hometown once and he went completely mental he started screaming at people and kicking them with his high heels. A fair amount of people left at the middle but just because he sucked at that show.

Highsmith wrote many more novels than just the Ripley ones. Definitely a good place to start. But then there's The Confidence Man by Herman Melville.

Not really, though. Maybe it's just a preference, but I don't think his caricature of a narcissus, or con man are to be taken as reality. The idea that this is the "holy grail" is just a stereotyping of a character that in life will have much more complexity, more subtle attributes, and more room for compassion than a morally simplistic reader would like to give.

I feel like I shouldn't say this, but The Brother's Karamazov by Doskey.

Why all those fucking clippings Ivan? Why?

A weird homo who is mentally ill? Who could have imagined that.

>he went completely mental he started screaming at people and kicking them with his high heels.

serves you right for being at an "ariel pink" show in the first place.

If you enjoy his music, do yourself a favor and don't see him live.

Sorry, got it wrong. He was in a Hindu ashram. Just Google "Ariel Pink Hindu ashram" and you'll find some articles that mention it.
