concrete by thomas bernhard would fit
Lovely song
I’m not sure but does The Bell Jar qualify?
I’d also suggest My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Eileen by Moshfegh and also Convenience Store Woman but none of those books are very good…

To be fair, it's called Loser canon but I think we are barely at the stage of establishing a bibliography. Then we will determine what is part of the canon.

hell yeah.
may i suggest At Least We Can Apologize by Lee Ki-Ho? a book about two men insitutionalized as children who start a business apologizing on behalf of others because they got used to apologizing to the people beating them senseless.

A Man With No Talents: Memoirs of a Tokyo Day Laborer by Oyama Shiro would fit perfectly on this list, he is a loser.
