You’ve probably already read it, but Catcher in the Rye.

is he similar to Musil? I love Musil and want to read something else like that

>> No.12642572

>>12642564

No, he’s not like Musil at all. I can’t think of anyone like Musil.

>> No.12642581

>>12642564
no. all his books a basically very long monologues with barely any paragraph breaks you are in one character's head the whole time. he writes in a ranting stream of conscious.

I’ve only read By Night in Chile in that style. Bummer. Thought it was like Musil. Has anyone read The Sleepwalkers by Broch? I might read that

Specifically something that isn't more Pynchon, also that is not The Sot-Weed Factor.

Like Musil Anon, you are making this very difficult.
I would suggest Donald Barthelme’s short stories. Stories like “Porcupines at the University” have that element of “:p so zany! Humour.”

I'm starting to accept the fact that I will never read another book that I will enjoy more than Mrs Dalloway.
