The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea (1990)
Others: Overwhelmingly positive This is an alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780679750154 The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea tells the tale of a band of savage thirteen-year-old boys who reject the adult world as illusory, hypocritical and sentimental, and train themselves in a brutal callousness they call "objectivity." When the mother of one of them begins an affair with a ship's officer, he and his friends idealize the man at first; but it is not long before they conclude that he is in fact soft and romantic. They regard their disappointment in him as an act of betrayal on his part, and react violently.

The woman in the dunes
Ksobso Abe
1964 · 4 reviews
Others: Overwhelmingly positiveThe Woman in the Dunes, by celebrated writer and thinker Kobo Abe, combines the essence of myth, suspense and the existential novel. After missing the last bus home following a day trip to the seashore, an amateur entomologist is offered lodging for the night at the bottom of a vast sand pit. But when he attempts to leave the next morning, he quickly discovers that the locals have other plans. Held captive with seemingly no chance of escape, he is tasked with shoveling back the ever-advancing sand dunes that threaten to destroy the village. His only companion is an odd young woman, and together their fates become intertwined as they work side by side through this Sisyphean of tasks.

Knut Hamsun
2008 · 155 pages · 1 review
Others: PositiveHungerby Knut Hamsun is a psychological exploration of desperation, human will, and existential struggle. Through the eyes of the unnamed protagonist, Hamsun paints a stark picture of poverty and isolation in a modernizing city. The protagonist's hunger is both literal and symbolic, representing not only his physical deprivation but also his yearning for meaning and artistic recognition. The novel delves into the complexities of mental instability as the narrator fluctuates between states of delusion, pride, and anguish, revealing the depths of human suffering and resilience. Since its publication, Hunger has been hailed as a pioneering work in modernist literature. Its introspective narrative style and focus on the inner turmoil of the protagonist have influenced many later writers. The novel's existential themes resonate with readers, touching on the alienation and internal conflict faced by individuals in a rapidly changing society. Hamsun's depiction of the psychological effects of extreme hunger and poverty is both poignant and unsettling, offering a raw portrayal of human endurance in the face of societal neglect. The relevance of Hunger persists due to its timeless exploration of human nature. By examining the intersections of pride, despair, and the quest for survival, the novel provides a profound commentary on the fragility of the human condition. Hamsun's work continues to inspire reflection on issues of poverty, mental health, and the search for purpose, making it a powerful contribution to world literature

Jack Kerouac
1957 · 304 pages · 3 reviews
Others: Mostly negativeDescribed as everything from a "last gasp" of romantic fiction to a founding text of the Beat Generation movement, this story amounts to a nonfiction novel (as critics were later to describe some works). Unpublished writer buddies wander from coast to coast in search of whatever they find, eager for experience. Kerouac's spokesman is Sal Paradise (himself) and real-life friend Neal Casady appears as Dean Moriarty.

Loved it
Loved itThis is a beautifully written haunting story about a group of boys who disavow the world and ways of adults... One of Mishima's best novels, a love story with elements of horror. You can see Mishima's personality split between the three main characters. It's terrific.
