El mundo sin Xochitl by Miguel Gutierrez. It's like an incest Proust. Sadly, it's not translated.

Ada or Ardor

The Maias, Eça de Queiroz

I have the feeling this is going to be a long thread

>>20375615
Confidence Africaine

>>20376020
Unfortunately not, it seems.

>>20376004
This sounds interesting, I can read Spanish a bit but I'm not fluent, is it a hard read? I wish it were translated.

>>20375615

>>20377869
I wouldn't say it's hard. It has no pyrotecnic narrative techniques nor a hard prose. It's told like a book of memories from the POV of the brother about his childhood and early teenage with his sister. There's also stuff there about music and Italian Opera.
Author loves his Faulkner too, you'll see.

I read a book with twincest characters when I was fucking 10 and now it's one of my main fetishes

most of the recent shit I read with it were fanfictions and I can't talk about it since it's not allowed on /lit/

>>20375615
You would love Wuthering Heights, I just happened to have read it recently. It has exactly what you are looking for.

>>20378605
And just to add, the depiction in the book is romantic. And despite being written by a woman, it is actually good.

>>20378329
I see, thanks, it's a bit hard to find but I'll try to give it a go.

>>20378468
Unfortunately, when it comes to the topic of incest (and depictions of "positive" incest) fanfiction is kind of the best you can get in a lot of circumstances.

>>20378605
I do love it, though it's not really as incest-focused as some of the books mentioned itt. I don't even think cousin incest would count, especially for that time period.

>>20378625
I would try to translate a few pages if I had some time but I don't think this thread would live long enough.

>>20378982
Well, if you find some time it'd be appreciated, if not that's fine too. I rarely buy new books but I might have to do it with this one, seems legitimately interesting. I wish more non-trash books explored incest in a way that wasn't just pure condemnation.

>>20375615
Moon Tiger has a few sections iirc. Read if you want

>>20378468
I have the same thing except mine stems from how close my little sister and I were when we were younger.
To add to the thread,

>>20375790
>The Catcher in the Rye
I haven't read this in over a decade and didn't read much analysis of it, but where was the incest here?

If you're into this subject matter you can't go wrong with Jewish lit: https://www.bitchute.com/video/KXEsnGJJBXae/

>>20375626
lmao, those fucking buendias...

>>20375984
seriously? might have to move laxness further up my list...

>>20376017
a delicious novel

>>20378605
one of my top 10 favorites. i guess there's some incestuous themes floating around, but it's really like in name only. everyone knows healthcliff isn't part of the family

>>20379754
>seriously? might have to move laxness further up my list...
yes, it's perfect for OP's request in the sense it's very nuanced and also at times explicit, that you're left wondering. if it was a book better known by /lit/ there would be regular "was it incest?" threads.

>>20379450
Here you have a sample of the Prologue. I will try in my capacity to translate the prologue and the first chapter, but beyond that it's too time consuming to make it a pet project. It's a sublime story with the resonance of memories of a childhood now lost that is a shame it's not translated.

>>20379844
Thanks, I'll have to check that out.

>>20379846
Gracias amigo, that is very time consuming so I appreciate this.

>>20379888
No prob. We'll see if I can finish the chapter before no thread can reach you.

>>20379754
I was more referring to the cousins who fall in love later in the book.

>>20379888
This is the first chapter, the shortest of them. I will see how I make you receive the doc with the prologue, the first and the second chapter if this thread is dead by tomorrow or the day after.

>>20380667
Sample of the second chapter. I'm going to sleep.

>>20380667
>>20380759
Thank you again! You are great.

>>20380644
Cousin incest barely counts as incest and likely wouldn't even have been considered incest in the past.

>>20382181
They thought better. Nothing wrong with loving your cousin. (No I am not American)

>>20380667
Is there a reason that the author uses a Nahuatl name? I thought Nahuatl was spoken in Mexico, not Peru. Is this set in Mexico?

>>20383236
>Is there a reason that the author uses a Nahuatl name?
There are tematic and plotwise reasons for the name. But even knowing that I find it weird too the chose of the name for the heroine of the story. I don't know exactly what the author was thinking.
>I thought Nahuatl was spoken in Mexico, not Peru.
Yes. Nahuatl is not spoken in Peru. Peru has it's own indigenous languages (like Quechua, Aymara and the multiple ones from the Amazon Rainforest).
>Is this set in Mexico?
No, this is set in Peru. Specifically in Piura (a northern department of the coastal regions).

>>20383275
Thanks for your explanation, it is a bit of a strange choice.

I really enjoyed My Sister Can't Possibly Be This Cute!? and Mahouka. Incest can another entire dimension to romantic love and eros.

>>20383375
>Incest can another entire dimension to romantic love and eros.
I kind of agree with this, that's why I'm surprised it isn't used more "positively" in romance literature or just literature in general. I know it's hard to overcome the taboo aspect.

>>20383590
Incest is a great double whammy because there's the taboo negative aspect and the positive aspect of grew up together allowing a much deeper early romantic relationship than if the pair had just met. Childhood friend gets close to this but lacks a certain something, lacks spice.

>>20383628
>Childhood friend gets close to this but lacks a certain something, lacks spice.
Because friendships can break or distance, but family is for ever.

>>20375615
The Sunne in Splendour is basically a romance novel about a boy and his hot cousin who are both high-level English aristocrats

>>20379643
Lurk

Bump

>>20383966
I've always thought that added to the "romance" aspect but apparently few others think so, and it just reads as awkward or stifling.

>>20380759
Ok I'm delivering some more pics so this threads don't die yet. Though if it needs to go then there's nothing I can do.

>>20386729

>>20386729
>>20386731
Thank you again, fren.

>>20387007
No prob. I'll translate it to the 5th chapter and then I drop it.

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

>>20388612
Just trying to do some electroshock. Btw, you know how where could I upload the doc so I can link it here?

>>20375615
Oedipal chart, should check out

>>20379643
it's a meme, typical degnerate academia hack approach

>>20389466
But I don't want to fuck my mom. I want to fuck my sister.

>>20389815
I read The Cement Garden but it was mostly incest-bait.
Siscon Ani To Brocon Imouto Ga Shoujiki Ni Nattara is a manga, which surprised me with it's follow-through of the incest theme.
Apart from that I'm in this thread to learn

>>20375615
Read this book just now after seeing the thread. Dogshit made to appeal to the New Yorker crowd who believes that, having been in an archives stack once during their unfinished undergrad, they are now bulwarks of literature. Flirts with the magical realism that inspired it, but it’s cowardly about it and can’t commit.

Seems like pure fantasy, likely written by a man, otherwise a 22 year old girl who cares more about the aesthetics of the upper-class east coast than actually telling a decent story.
Fuck me do I hate women. Disgusting creatures.
I’m gonna mark every 19 year old cunt in my intro to lit class 10 points lower than usual this semester just because of this book.

Am reading along. This is pretty good.

>>20391699
Would love to post the hole thing I translated so far but don't know where to put the doc to link it. Also, there's 2 more short chapter I want to translate before I drop translating it for good.

>>20391713
>the hole
the whole thing kek

>>20390141
>but it was mostly incest-bait
No it wasn't, it delivered.
Unfortunately I can't think of any other brother/sister books that actually delivery and are, ideally, positive. Cement Garden is the only one that pops into my head, which is a shame because brother/sister is best. Though I guess there is the book this very kind anon is translating too.

>>20391713
>>20391717
You should be able to host it on pastebin or Google docs. You could also make it into a pdf and put it on catbox.

There's at least one manga series I know of that actually plays the whole thing totally straight. It's called Koi Kaze:

Based.

>>20392017
Thanks, will try then later.

>>20383375
Ore Imo left a big impression on me too. I wish the ending was happier. That they had ran away together. But in true Japanese fashion, society wins in the end. (Also almost every girl in that anime is true waifu material)

>>20392113
Thanks for the recommendation, there is a 13-episode anime as well.

>>20392432
You watched this classic, right?

>>20392565
Not yet

A Spell of Winter by Helen Dunmore features brother/sister incest. It's a lovely book.

>>20375615
I'll drop some anime suggestions to keep the thread going:
Aki-Sora
Yosuga no Sora
Kiss x Sis
True Tears
Oreimo
Citrus
There's much more manga than anime on the subject. I tried to exclude the dumb ones.

>>20375615
First off, finger but hole.
