What's /lit/'s favourite prose fiction where the characters live in some sort of damning (physical, environmental and/or psychological) situation, but with more of an emphasis on absurdity or humour than direct moroseness?I like McCarthy (have read Passenger and Road) but he tends to eschew interesting characters for somewhat incredulous philosophical dialogue (almost all of the characters in Passenger express themselves in the same way, for example). Haven't been able to get through Suttree easily because ESL scum. Ligotti is too unsubtle and preachy.
