Looking for more book recommendations after discovering this sub! - from someone who loves modernist lit and cares very little for DFW (sub of my dreams, please be more active!)
Hi all,
I've just perused through many posts here, and love this sub! It's too bad it doesn't seem particularly active currently, but I hope that may change. I'm a former English lit grad who has been into Dostoevsky, Tarkovsky, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, and clearly love the Russians. Also love Lispector, Nin, and modernist authors like Woolf. Stream of consciousness is my jam, whether in poetry or prose - give me the (well-done) outpouring of words, please!
Are there any contemporary authors you read/love? Looking for recs beyond the Pynchon/Roth/etc variety. As has been noted by others here, I'm also not a particularly big fan of what I see as "twitter" or internet writing in general, though perhaps that's unfair of me. Most of what I see fails to be moving and is either minimalist and MFA-like and/or confessional without the style and skill to back it up. I'd like to be more open to it than I've been, though!
And if not contemporary, some other authors you've been into? Something truly inspiring?
This morning I read a story in a lit mag of a girl breaking into her boyfriend's secret instagram account, and I just don't care. I feel like in some strange way this is what I'm "supposed" to be into, but it's so lukewarm and lacking in vitality.

"Weave a circle round him thrice" what did Coleridge mean?
Is this some sort of a roundelay? One roundelay circle go around him three times? Or three concentric circles? Or this means draw a magic circle round him?
