Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.

Still in love with fiction about how much the American dream sucks.

Looking for stuff like The Appointment in Samarra, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Theodore Dreiser, Revolutionary Road, or Generation X by Coupland. poo poo, if you gave me stuff like Generation X I'd love you.

Brett Easton Ellis sounds like he'd be right up your alley. American Psycho is his most famous work, but I think Rules of Attraction, Less Than Zero and Lunar Park are more in line with what your looking for. Though Lunar Park is full of call backs to his earlier work, so I would save that for if you read his other stuff and like it.

Henry Miller is probably also a good fit, Sexus and Tropic of Capricorn. Tropic of Cancer, his most famous work, takes place in Paris and is wonderful too.

All the books I've mentioned have incredibly explicit sex scenes, just as a heads up.
