I really like Antonio Lobo Antunes, but have never seen him mentioned here.

Act of the Damned (Auto dos Danados) by António Lobo Antunes. In portuguese.

Incredibly difficult read. 4 different narrators (so far), who are part of a family of ~30 characters(I'm drawing a family tree as I go); 4 or 5 timelines. One sentence can have more than one narrator, speaking of different stories, in different timelines. All this in highy metaphorized prose.

But I'm used to Lobo Antunes and I love his style.

Overall fantastic read.

The works of Antonio Lobo Antunes are definitely up there.

His works are surrealistic nightmares heavily inspired by Faulkner and the early European surrealists.

This book is unbridled madness turned into prose.
