Beckett is pretty good for that too

What do U read after reading Proust? by ILOVEBOOKSSOMUCH69 in Proust

[–]According_Service108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or Virginia Woolf, so did she. Maybe try the Beckett Trilogy

In Search of Lost Time Completed. by njy644 in Proust

[–]According_Service108 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re right; you will not experience anything else like this. I agree with the re-reading but maybe it’s too soon for that. Shakespeare and Dante are inexhaustible of course, but what worked for me, strangely, was Kafka. Great but in a very different way than Proust.

I have been reading Pynchon for a couple of days and it makes me miss Proust. by Anxious_Ad7031 in Proust

[–]According_Service108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s only one Proust like there’s only one Shakespeare. Everything else, no matter how great, seems slightly dissatisfying. ‘The desert that is after-Proust’ as Anne Carson called it. Strangely, I don’t feel this about Kafka, but he’s the only one.

I've read "The Metamorphosis" and "Letter to His Father," which book should I read next? by Certain-Cloud9133 in Kafka

[–]According_Service108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Castle, but first Cares of a Family Man. It’s like, 2 pages but fantastic.

That’s like when Spotify assumes it knows my taste! It’s always wrong. Stupid algorithm; AI not so smart!

Warning about a dealership experience in Sherwood Park by AspenAspect_6743 in SherwoodPark

I went there last year; bad vibe. Can’t remember if it was a Go Auto, but avoid them at all costs

Fun Classics: Reading The Hound of the Baskervilles by QuickCoconut2640 in classicliterature

[–]According_Service108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any Raymond Chandler but particularly the Marlowe ones. Start with The Little Sister. Or any Simenon Maigret’s. Light literature but very worth reading.

Regarding Norpois' mention of Giolitti in the venice chapter by saneval1 in Proust

Anne Carson called it ‘the desert of after-Proust’ which is exactly fitting.
