My search within ("cioran") returned shit so I'll be so bold.

Anybody into Matthew McConaughey's character in True Detective s1 (Rust Cohle), may have encountered reference to this Romanian dude. He's definitely referenced in Thomas Ligotti's The Conspiracy Against the Human Race, if you've had the fortune to darken those waters. Some good literary references, but Ligotti probably better with the fiction. No Lovecraft, however.

They did a re-release but this was a solid copy.
Cioran sounds like a more rebellious Camus, which might work for me.
Fuck Camus' toleration. I dunno. Acquiesce strategically.
Nietzsche only works for me when he transcends aphorism. This guy may be similar.
Never know til I try. Parts of 3 main works--The Trouble With Being Born, On the Heights of Despair, and The Fall Into Time are all floating youtubey.
here, was in me faves, this was pretty well done
I know what it is. Camus absconds from nihilism.
Cioran allegedly might not.
Can't have value with nihilism. Cioran will fail.
betcha
