That's pretty broad. What would you see as common factor in them?

>Kafka / Lovecraft / Beckett
Dino Buzzati
An enigmatic strangeness. Fragmented consciousness.The surreal, perhaps. Density of meaning. Density of metaphor. Conspiratory charisma. Vague shit like that, I guess.
Forgot to add Borges.
Read some Borges (Its pronounced Bor'gays btw)
Alright, Dino Buzzati
I was posting when I saw that. Anyway what your looking for is Nabakov. Fits the description pretty well.
Thomas Bernhard and Laszlo Krasznahorkai
obviously dfw.
Nabakov like this mofo said. Don't necessarily start with Lolita.
Camus. You basically described The Stranger.
>You basically described The Stranger.
No he didn't. The Stranger isn't even close to what he was talking about. If you'd want to recommend a Camus novel it would be the Plague. Still, it doesn't fit.
Flann O'Brien (don't start with At Swim-Two-Birds)
This gave me some Kafka vibes, might just be me having a small pool of reference though.
Seconding Bernhard.
Kobo Abe
>mentioning Beckett and Dick in the same vein.
How fucking dare you user
thirding bernhard
krasznahorka literally said that he adores kafka so that would make since
fuck *that would make sense
Fourthing Bernhard.
Flannery O'Connor
Platonov
Umberto Eco. Probably the most similar to Borges
Ada by Nabokov
Common vein?
michael cisco. he might be more surreal than you want, but still brilliant
robert aickman's short stories.
