20th century books recommendation and dicussion thread :marseycamus:

To discuss and recommend authors and books from the 20th century in general.

A few great modern authors that come to mind and who’s works I’m quite familiarized are Albert Camus, Vladimir Nabokov, F Scott Fitzgerald, Jorge Luis Borges and even though they are still alive and publishing Mario Vargas Llosa (his older works are fantastic) and Kazuo Ishiguro (haven’t read Ishiguro yet, but i have “never let me go” on my reading list)

I've been read a lot of charles Bukowski lately. Quite like post office and women

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_(Bukowski_novel)

One of the first women featured in the book, who also recurred throughout the novel through random phonecalls and thoughts, is a character named Lydia Vance; she is based on Bukowski's one-time girlfriend, the sculptor and sometime poet Linda King. Chinaski's last face-to-face encounter with Lydia ended with her breaking into his house, destroying his paintings and books, and being arrested by police shortly afterwards; Chinaski refused to press charges, because Lydia had children she was struggling for custody for, and the charge would reflect negatively on that. But as soon as she was released, she called and threatened Chinaski again.
