I haven't finished this yet but popping down here just to say if you ever end up in Australia (Sydney) we will for sure organise a reading for you to do! Would be awesome. I don't own a bookshop or anything but I am a natural born hustler (ha-ha) and spent my life in 'events' so we'll do something cool !!
Solenoid by Mircea Cartarescu is a pretty great example of that "dark beauty" - highly recommended. The ending of the novel, if a bit hurried, puts him in the category of writers who write against despair.
You gotta check out Andrei Tarkovsky's "Sculpting in Time," I think it will really speak to you.
I read this comment an hour ago, closed my laptop and went to the bookshop. It is in my hand, thank you for the rrecommendation!
Whoa! I hope you like it
Writers who listen to Fred Again are chill
P.S 'Cognitive Caste System'. Something there...

Thanks, adding that to my list!
I will keep this in the forefront of my mind
… a kind of transcendent feeling, not necessarily spiritual—and definitely not material—maybe it’s God, maybe it’s the Dao …
Yes.
I call this the Muse.
