C Dubya 04 Posted October 31, 2003 Report Posted October 31, 2003 I've been stuck on the same authors for some time now and would like to branch out a bit. I pretty much only read Vonnegut, Tom Robins and Chuck Palahniuk right now and have made my way through almost all of their collective collections. Could anyone please recommend similiar styled authors.
starvenger Posted October 31, 2003 Report Posted October 31, 2003 I know the names, but not the genre(s). What would you classify them as?
Nighthawk Posted November 2, 2003 Report Posted November 2, 2003 Stewart Home bears some similarity to Chuck Palahniuk. He's quite a strange guy, a member of the Lettrists, a death-art/coprophilia cult which was spawned by the proto-punk French band The Situationists. A lot of his work dealing with the punk scene isn't very good, he's in it too deep, but I have read and will heartily recommend his books Cunt and Slow Death. Luke Rhinehart (which is a pen name, but I can't remember whose) is another Palahniukesque author you might try. Read The Dice Man. Tony Vigorito is somewhat like Vonnegut, I recommend his Just A Couple of Days. Actually, I consider Ray Bradbury to share some of the style of Vonnegut, but you're probably familiar with him already.
Guest Rollerball Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 I would try Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Gunter Grass and Thomas Pynchon, they have the same anything can happen vibe.
