Greeting /lit/
I recently finished reading pic related, and would like some suggestions as to what I should read next. I don't read that much, but I would like to start reading more, so please give me more books with this kind of surrealistic, existentialist writing.
Would also like to hear your opinions on this book, personally I loved it.

Try any of Raymond Queneau's , Georges Perec (specially life an user's manual and homme qui dort) or pic related for something in between proto existentialism and fin de siecle decadent lit.

Thanks for the suggestions, I just looked in my bookshelf and found life an user's manual, so I think I'm gonna try reading that

I'm actually reading that at the moment, but I'm almost done and I've quite enjoyed it so far, thanks for the suggestion though!

OP I would really recommend "The Opposing Shore" by Julien Gracq.

Not only does it exactly fit what you describe but it has literally 10/10 prose, even with it being a translation

If you've seen that popular meme with the black man wearing shades biting his lip with the caption "dat ass", I was feeling like that while reading it but with "dat prose" instead.
