History of Violence
Édouard LouisGarth Greenwell@Boysinblue1948 @yalereview I’m not sure Roth is a natural progression from those books (though I think ST is as great as literature gets). I might recommend Édouard Louis’s The History of Violence, if you haven’t read that, or Brandon Taylor’s Filthy Animals.

The unbelievable fluency & power of the writing—unlike anything Fitzgerald had written to that point. What it must have felt like to write it!
