More or less abstruse:
Anything by Boris Vian, William S. Burroughs, Denton Welch, Eugene Ionescu, Samuel Beckett, Michel Tournier ... and Thomas Lovell Beddoes's Death Jest's Book - anyway, they're all great authors!

Any book by Thomas Pynchon. Start with THE CRYING OF LOT 49. It's the most accessible and the best intro to his style.

I'd like for you to read Gravity's Rainbow and tell me if you can tell what is going on either.
I also recommend Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, by Stephan R. Delany, and the sequel novel The Misery, of Bodies, of Cities.
