I have a decent library filled with authors like Palahniuk, Ryu and Haruki Murakami, Vonnegut, P. K. Dick, and Thompson.

I'm looking for more modern/contemporary authors who share that absurdism, surrealism, and just plain weirdness.

This is very much not my genre so I’m not sure my suggestion is valid; maybe others can chime in if I’m way off base. But this year I read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke and it felt pretty surreal to me.
