Misanthropic novels? (1 Viewer)

[asdfqwerty]

Hey, I was wondering if anybody can recommend me some misanthropic novels that they have read or novels which have a misanthropic character in it? I just read Catcher in The Rye and I really liked the way Holden's social isolation is presented.

But yeh, please recommend me some misanthropic novels, it would be great. Cheers

Oh anything written in the romanticist period really.

so true, but one classic example would be Wuthering Heights, nearly all the characters are misanthropists, towards the end anyway.

1984 by George Orwell?

This isn't an misanthropic Novel but I really liked Rage Therapy by Daniel Kalla. I also read and loved Catcher In The Rye and for some reason Rage Therapy reminds me of it.

Was the one I had in mind when I wrote it actually, just a kind of contagious misanthropy that starts with one character and just radiates through the whole cast. You like WH?

You could try reading Lolita.
