flaubert

it's not exactly light fucking reading. his taste in books is as dark and twisted as his fucking worldview. In the show, he's seen reading "The King in Yellow," a collection of stories by Robert W. Chambers that deals with madness, the supernatural, and existential dread. It's not exactly bedtime reading, if you know what the fuck I mean. But hey, if you're into that kind of shit, go ahead and give it a try. Just don't blame me if you end up in a padded fucking cell, seeing cosmic horror around every goddamn corner.

HOLY BASED

Ay edgelord, the show was based on this and he was just promoting it like the rest of hollywood actors

Kill yourself Gardner

What a strange person you are. The king in yellow is just a mediocre horror novel.

is this actually from the show?

this is the only shot of his reading i could find 

would be interesting if he really nietzsche though obviously nothing much stuck with him

It's a book by Jack Torrance, but instead of consisting solely of the sentence "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," it says " Alright, Alright, Alright," over and over again.

It's the Upanishads. You can see it if you zoom in the page of the book in a higher resolution pic.

Here it is.

how is this so high definition?

Don't laugh at me but straight after the show I bought king in yellow and my /lit/ journey began. 

'True detective s1' was full of sudo- philosophical quotes and IMHO it was zeitgeist-defining akin Silence of lambs or X-files as defining detective of 90s.

The yellow king book was meh though.

But the themes from the show are common with /lit/s rent-free s , McCarty, Pynchon, Dumas, etc

I've actually hunted after this edition of the Upanishads but it seems to be a prop made for the show. Funny because this particular scene isn't even in the show..

This book has a weird rabbit hole of its author, I don’t think anyone knows who actually wrote this shit.

Jesus fucking Christ with this thread again THERE IS A LITERAL SHOT OF A STACK OF BOOKS BY HIS BEDSIDE IN LIKE EPISODE TWO STOP ASKING THIS STUPID QUESTION AND OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES

Who is this /lit/ guy you are talking about. Is he on twitter?

Waiting for the seething to commence. I am betting this will be delet

No I mean it was TV series

From wiki:

True Detective's first season explores themes of philosophical pessimism, masculinity, and Christianity; critics have analyzed the show's portrayal of women
