This is the moment for which I was born. My chaotic opinion is that Knausgaard& #39;s My Struggle series has the biggest Fleet Foxes energy in the game in that it is all rain, wax coats, camping, mountains, and subverted queer pathos. https://twitter.com/nucosi/status/1310240301324398593">https://twitter.com/nucosi/st...
Knausgaard and Robin Pecknold are the same person re: making unintentionally homosexual art, and I stand by this thesis.
Elizabeth Taylor& #39;s A VIEW OF THE HARBOUR also has big Fleet Foxes energy. It seems like an odd suggestion, but just try me on it.
Maile Meloy& #39;s excellent collection BOTH WAYS IS THE ONLY WAY I WANT IT has enormous Fleet Foxes energy.
Mary Lavin& #39;s short stories also have big Fleet Foxes energy. Colin Barrett& #39;s YOUNG SKINS has MAJOR Fleet Foxes energy.
Elizabeth Bishop& #39;s poetry (I recommend the collected) is MAJOR Fleet Foxes vibes--it has all of the obvious things (dreary weather, boats, nature, coats, etc), but also the sensibility is very Fleet Foxes. Lucid style but opaque and self-referential.
But also: Borges has major Fleet Foxes energy. Bernhard is in there. Jenny Erpenbeck. Lowell. Calvino. Tove Jansson. Yasunari Kawabata, but specifically SNOW COUNTRY.
