Looking for sharp, psychologically precise literature
Hi. I started writing a couple of months ago — mostly to give shape to thoughts and experiences that kept circling in my head. I’m not aiming to become a professional writer, but I’d like to sharpen my voice and improve technically.
Can you recommend literature with a sharp, precise voice that helped shape your own writing without making you simply imitate it?
I’m especially interested in psychologically observant prose, restraint, and writers who trust implication more than explanation.
