I want to read books that talk about inceldom, I love provocative pieces of art. It's not by coincidence that I love A Clockwork Orange, Trainspotting, Taxi Driver, Fight Club, Fargo (the movie), etc. I know Charles Bukowski, nihilist philosophers, and Michel Houellebecq, who talk about it, but I wanted to have some recommendations if you know any authors who talk about it.
 
ER manifesto
 
Notes from the Underground
 
The Catcher in the Rye
 
None of those are "provocative" lmfaoo
what's your definition of provocative then, the movie green elephant kek? A clockwork orange was banned, Trainspotting was hated at it's release and other things.
 
The Catcher in the Rye
How is it about inceldom lmao? Holden is NOT an incel. That nigga is 6'2 and I'm pretty sure he's average looking. Also didn't he literally have that foid who was interested in him? Idk I read that shit story ages ago. Holden is more of a volcel.

Taxi Driver is an aesthetic masterpiece in my eyes. Nothing beats the psychological verisimilitude of that film. Its essentially a perfect depiction of an isolated modern man. I could go deeper but I don't feel like it. A Clockwork Orange is also goated.

Fight Club is good too but its heavily overrated by normies.

agreed
what do you think about Trainspotting (I personally love it because it talk about a lost generation, and how they cope with poverty, lack of job, and lack of goal in life)

I haven't watched that one yet. Maybe I'll add it to my list.

I recently reread it a few months ago and I will say that lots of people in this community can relate to the feelings of alienation discussed in the novel. Also, he was a virgin throughout the entire novel. I would say he’s more of a mentalcel. He scared away the Sally Hayes girl as he saw her as superficial and a dumb bimbo. His oneitis, Jane Gallagher, had sex with his roommate in the second chapter and causes him to leave Pencey Prep.

I’ve rewatched Taxi Driver dozens of times. It’s a true masterpiece. My favorite scene is when he’s watching the couples dancing on the TV while Late for the Sky plays.

Ye he's basically volcel. He chose not to bang that prostitute, and he chose not to engage with Sally. Idk whether he's "mentalcel" since he seems low inhib and doesn't really have any trouble reading social cues. He's just introverted and depressive, more of a normie whiner than an incel.
