Am I missing some sort of value in Daniil Kharms' writing?

Am I missing some sort of value in Daniil Kharms' writing? I'm about halfway through Today I Wrote Nothing, and I don't hate it but I'm not sure I get it either. I've heard he's a big influence on George Saunders, and I like Saunders a lot but Kharms just leaves me confused.

Might be true, could you try to explain the appeal though? From the introduction I'm getting the idea that I shouldn't be viewing this as reactionary work against the Soviet regime, so how should I be viewing it?

I haven't read Kharms, but since you're bringing this up, I've had more or less the same reaction on George Saunders. Everything I've read from him was either entirely pointless or so blatantly on-the-nose that it felt like there must have been some meta-layer to them, entirely lost on me.
