Lynch is all-style no-substance shallow obscurantist fluff for pseuds who think art is about being wowed by surreal visual effects, so probably either Finnegans Wake or (depending on your opinion, and despite having some actual content to his fluff here and there by accident) Samuel Beckett, who incidentally sucked the dick of the guy who wrote Finnegans Wake.

You could also try Pynchon, if you want middlebrow shit that pseuds force themselves to think they like because they were told it's supposed to be prestigious.

You seem insecure, as if all this blusterous lashing out is your way of protecting yourself against from facing your own inadequacy. Suffice to say, pretending you're better than famous, accomplished artists so you can feel some degree of confidence and superiority isn't the best way for your own mental health and personal progress. There's a difference between attention
and accomplishment which you haven't doscerened. Good luck.

If you are going to make a thread in reference to a term coined by DFW, atleast include a link to the essay he wrote on it or the video where he talks about it to Charlie Rose.

When reading Robbe-Grillet (and watching his films) it was fairly obvious Lynch was heavily influenced by his work, particularly the bizarre austere characters and fractured narratives.

All of them, in chronological order if possible. La Maison de rendez-vous has the most lynchian environment, with the seedy happenings revolving around a brothel in Hong Kong. The Voyeur is essentially Lost Highway. Regarding his films, he wrote Last Year at Marienbad, a good place to start. Trans-Europ-Express, L’immortelle, and Eden and After are films he directed, all worthwhile. I haven’t seen the rest. If you enjoy Lynch I highly recommend delving into his work.
