What's some good paranoid fiction...

What's some good paranoid fiction? Not necessarily conspiracy stories but stories about more or less delusional and schizoid characters.

Pynchon

There was a story about a fresco in an apartment that was in occupied territory and the characters acted unnaturally out of fear that they were being listened in on for the entire story until they were arrested. I don't remember the name though, sorry.

Any PKD will do. Paranoia and general mindfuckery was his main schtick.

I think VALIS is absolutely the thing OP is looking for. Its paranoia is staggering.

Hunger - hamsun
Notes from the underground, crime and punishment to some extent - Dostoevsky

The latter stages of the invisible man - Ralph Ellison.

Kafka on the Shore by Murakami

Don Delillo - Libra

You fucking kidding me with this shit? No.

Murakami is not paranoid. He is like hanging out with Mr Muyagi on morphine.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Kesey, Chief's pretty paranoid at the start. If you've already read it, read it again.

Basically any text written by Phillip k. Dick.

The Magus - John Fowles.
