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.
