well if you're going to make something that is an absolute black hole you cant actually be IN that place---you have to know it, understand it and how it works----but you cant be IN it or you wont make anything.
i am not sure i buy the romantic suffering artiste thing.
something like notes from the underground has alot of playfulness in its language. it describes a particular existential space but isnt of it.
much closer to that space would probably be one of those diaries understood as copying experience in the sense of just repeating it, not opening it up to anyone, just saying stuff like "today everything sucked again" or "today everything sucked again" or "today everything sucked again." that indicates that the writer is not thinking that there could possibly be a reader, and if there were to be one, that reader would probably suck anyway so why bother?
