I have a decent library filled with authors like Palahniuk, Ryu and Haruki Murakami, Vonnegut, P. K. Dick, and Thompson.

I’m looking for more modern/contemporary authors who share that absurdism, surrealism, and just plain weirdness.

    • Kazuo Ishiguro - The Unconsoled

    I’ve read most of his books, but this was the most magical for me. Knowing nothing about it was important, and it gave me a feeling of unease almost from the beginning.

    • Thomas Pynchon - Mason & Dixon

    Someone else mentioned Pynchon, and I absolutely loved this book. It’s huge and absurdly ambitious and I learned a lot about astronomy, but it’s also an all-time great bromance and there’s a talking dog.
