I'm not looking for anime. I want fiction that hits the same nerve, damaged characters, existential dread, religious/philosophical symbolism, and that feeling of reality coming apart at the seams.
The kind of book where the real battle is inside someone's head. Trauma, identity, isolation, the horror of connection and the horror of loneliness at the same time.
I've read Dostoevsky, Bernhard, Krasznahorkai. What novels made you feel like you needed therapy afterward?
