>>24116402steve erickson
>>24116402Bolano
>loved by women and pseudsHegel
>>24116402Robert Aickman is kind lynchian in his own british way, you should check him out.
Its Kafka. Any other answer is onjectively wrong
>>24116470I met Sheryl Lee over the last summer at a FWWM screening. After the show there was a Q and A with her and I felt like I had to ask her something or I'd regret it. I asked her if she had read any Kafka, or was familiar at all, since the influence was so prominent in the return. Of course I'm a sperg and worded it incredibly poorly, and she of course answered no. She did humor me and said she was now interested in looking into him.
burroughs, watch the naked lunch movie it's lynchian but slightly less incoherent
>>24116402David Lynch.

yeah it's hilarious how NPCs venerate a businessman from the media industry. Says it all about their shitty society...
I don't like to speak ill of the dead, and I won't, but everything I've seen from this man — his mannerisms, work, and quotes — repelled me vehemently from his art. It smells like pastiche for the corny, pseudo-intellectual, the most downright insipid of normalfags.
>>24116754anon the question must be asked, what have you seen or read of his art? too many on /lit/ are just striking the pose, talking to talk

>>24116402Pick any dead guy.Probably Jung, though. He offers a bunch of nonsense that doesn't really mean anything and pseuds ubiquitously like it.
>>24116493The Cronenberg movie is also a lot more coherent than the book but yeah, Cities of the Red Night by Burroughs is close to a Lynch movieYou could try the things he tried to but never made like The White Hotel by DM Thomas >A number of efforts have been made to make the novel into a film, which some have described as unfilmable[7] or unadaptable. These have included attempts by Bernardo Bertolucci with Barbra Streisand, by David Lynch with Isabella Rossellini, by Simon Monjack with Brittany Murphy, and by Emir Kusturica with Nicole Kidman^From the Wikipedia article on the book
>>24116493>watch the naked lunch movie it's lynchian but slightly less incoherentthat movie was nine times more incoherent than most Lynch movies.
>>24116402Thomas Pynchon
>>24116402Right down to the kino hair
>>24116754I second everything you said. He's always seemed to me the pretentious person's art person, the epitome of glamour. Artists like David Lynch once again convince me that art is a concept that is so easily subverted if your artsy-fartsy cultural product can be famous and acclaimed just because it has been efficiently advertised and promoted.
>>24117029>the pretentious person's art person, the epitome of glamourI believe you're thinking of Baz Luhrmann.
