What is the best piece of literature written by a homosexual or dealing with homosexual/homoerotic themes? Recommend something with real literary merit. So far I've read Confessions of a Mask, Forbidden Colours, and Brideshead Revisited and thoroughly enjoyed them..

Good. I can now delete confessions of a mask from my to read list

kokoro by natsume souseki

>>24674741
Do you dumb niggers even read the books you suggest?

>>2467472
Isherwood A Single Man is a great piece of literature

>>24674746
I read it in Japanese, the student at the beginning was gay for sensei.

Thomas Mann's A Death In Venice is what you're looking for. That and Christopher Isherwood. also Gary Indiana but it'll make you sputter a bunch of memewords from /pol/ so don't bother

In Search of Lost Time by Proust. Proust himself was also a homo.

Faggots by Larry Kramer

How to hang yourself
How to be straight
How to renounce sin and convert to Catholicism

I often wished I was a faglord, mostly back when I was more socially proactive. I can relate to the impressions and proclivities some of them share; I enjoy anal sex, but nowhere can I find taste for the torpid, buoyant creature man is.

>>24675214
Everything in the Antiquity section is about pederastry.

>>24675214
Why you always leave out Mysterious Skin?

>>24675328
I enjoy them as a feeder/feedee pairing.

You are what's wrong with yaoi

Books about tortured guilt-ridden Catholic homosexuals and their relationship with God?

>>24675869
Brideshead Revisited

>>24675869
Ironically Brideshead ends in a pretty hetero way, Charles and Julia's romance takes up most of the back half of the novel. It's heavily implied that you're supposed to grow out of being a fag and if you don't you're defective, like Sebastian.

Giovanni's Room

>you're supposed to grow out of being a fag
Is this a good theme for a contemporary novel?

>>24674726 (OP)
People like you should be murdered in cold blood

>>24675874
I read Brideshead recently and understood basically nothing about it.

/r9k/

if I read death in venice would I have a boner throughout most of the book?

>>24675214
thx for the chart, saved

>>24675988
How could you get filtered by Brideshead? It's a great book but not a particularly difficult or complex one. It's not exactly Finigans Wake.

>>24676245
I didn't see any direct evidence for a homosexual relationship. Sebastian and the narrator just seemed like good friends. I have no idea why Sebastian became a worthless drunk. I don't know why anyone gave a shit about whether the dying old man could see a priest. Or why they cared about his last, unconscious eye movements and tried to infer deep religious feelings from the involuntary motions of a sick, dying man. And I can't be too sad that aristocrats living fat off inherited wealth had to sell their house.

>>24676256
It's a Catholic story, you realize that, right?

>>24675967
It has potential. I bet we are but a few years away from an entire generation of zoomer males who fagged it up in high school at the height of globohomo to fit in realising they fell for the meme and Frank ocean is boring shit

>>24676019
Nah it's not very salacious or titillating in the slightest, in my experience at least
