David Foster Wallace

DFW, pynchon murakami, garcia marquez, john green, roth, delillo, vollman, mccarthy, etc.

People might name drop him to seem cool or well read but most don't actually read him. Pynchon is not pop-core. Neither is Delillo, etc.
You people are either dense or just don't get what OP is talking about.
>Palahniuk
>Murakami
>Vonnegut
>Junot Diaz
>Kerouac
>Bukowski
