LOVECRAFT
>>25039135Donald Barthelme
god PKDcels infuriate me. he might actually be the most mid writer in all of sci-fi, certainly the most repetitive, but because his works are vaguely conspiratory and "anti-establishment" people eat it up. its the /lit/ equivalent of jungians
>>25039135Robert Sheckley and Chekhov
>>25039277but dood what if reality wasn't le real???
>>25039135anons on /lit/
>>25039135Clive Barker so far but I need to dig deeper
>>25039135Gogol. Also like Marquez and Updike
>>25039135Is that darksydephil?
Poe.
>>25039351>Sheckley Based. What's your favorite story of his? For me it's Ticket to Tranai
Cechov, Bolano, Marias, Carver, Tolstoj, Kafka, de Assis, Cortazar
>>25039790That's a tough one. Probably Something for Nothing or Specialist. I don't remember reading Ticket to Tranai actually.
>>25039135He was better at novels than at short stories.>>25039790And vice versa.
>>25039949>And vice versa.Sheckley truly had the wit for short stories, but he seems too simplistic for the longer format, so I haven't touched his novels.
