Gotta be Pynchon or Gaddis, they are the ones that tend to get the most traction here. Fowles and Borges are great too tho.

He fits most of the criteria, especially: the time period he was writing in, his appropriation of genre fiction, his scattered narrative form and characterization, and his love of excess. He is postmodern in the way that Faulkner was modern, and he writes "Westerns" in the same way Vonnegut wrote "science fiction" or Auster wrote "mysteries."

baudrillard, though he makes me sick to my stomach and i can't make it even a quarter way through simulacra and simulation - that's pretty based.
