Writers of /lit/, which authors have influenced your work the most?

My writing teacher complained a lot that I was just copying Pynchon and DFW, so probably them.

PKD because of style and focus on metaphysical themes.

Richard Yates, James Purdy, Ann Beattie, Frederick Barthelme, Fernando Pessoa, Artur Schopenhauer

my writing has oft been described as being, 'kafkaesque'.

I've been called the Shakespeare of my generation...

Just read Barthelme for the first time. I am already CERTAIN that the two of you both suffer the same flaws:

CUTENESS

LIGHTNESS

HOW UNCUTELY AND HOW HEAVILY THE CUDGEL OF DEATH WILL FALL UPON YOUR UNPREPOSSESSING HEAD!!!
