I could possibly make a guess as to the most flat out absurd but the flat out most absurd I cannot come up with a fit for

good question, but wouldn't something trying to be absurd like Legacy of Totalitarianism In a Tundra become less genuinely absurd than one which aims to be non-absurd and turns out that way inadvertently, through it's own merits?

The Story of the Vivian Girls is probably pretty absurd but good luck finding a way to access it.

It doesn't sound that absurd from the descriptions of it that I've read. Just weird and unnecessarily obsessive.

This is a shit thread. OP posted a Dali painting (surrealism) and people are recommending muhh Americana surrealist Brautigan and sanitary pleb prosed Murakami.

Beckett's plays are literally called theatre of the absurd, but if you're asking for surreal shit check out actual surrealists like Breton or Aragon or Lautremount. If you want a more recent example check out something like David Ohle's Motorman. Or Larry McCaffery's Avante-Pop anthologies if you really think you can handle it.

what is the most absurd on this chart?
