Visited the thread to post Chandler.

It's a pity that his style has been imitated by lots of other things (books, movies, TV) in the decades since. I think it can make the Chandler books seem stale to people who've already encountered all the rip-offs first.

I've only ever read Naked Lunch, but word on the block is that Burroughs is pretty good at passing on his aesthetic.
