The 80s were loud, complicated, joyful, heartbreaking, and transformative. These books capture the decade from every angle.

Alternative Xmas reading — think downbeat stories, family dysfunction, holiday loneliness, seasonal depression, black comedy. There's a gift from me to you under the tree in the comments.

litfic books where the city plays a big role

i love books that feel vile and uncomfortable and leave you feeling like you need to take a long shower and think about your life choices and that you can’t stop thinking about for days after. recs wanted and appreciated

Bite-sized books you can read in a single sitting.

The hedonists. The provocateur. The phenom. The forgotten talent. In the decadent 1980s, an emerging group of young American writers on the East Coast was dubbed the Literary Brat Pack, made up of Jay McInterney, Bret Easton Ellis, Tama Janowitz, Donna Tartt, and Jill Eisenstadt. The name is a play on the Hollywood Brat Pack, which is itself a play on the Rat Pack. Their works exemplified the excessive highs and lows of the decade and helped change the course of American literature.

describing these books is impossible without sounding like an absolute crazy person

wanted to make a pagebound list for rorys reading list

Books where substance abuse or addiction play a part in the story. Not always the main characters, but does have some kind of impact on the plot. Including memoirs but I haven’t read many so I’d love suggestions of both non-fiction and fiction.
