Hi /lit/, was wondering if you could help me out. Im looking

Philip K. Dick

Murakami's Kafka on the Shore is, as one would expect, Kafkaesque (I also dislike using the word)

Also Camus' The Stranger. It was written after Camus was studying Kafka and is influenced heavily by his work.

Catcher in the Rye felt pretty dreamy to me

>>8034843
Kafka's writings are very much undreamlike, they might have a sense of sensible ungraspability but amidst that is a stringent coherency that is antithetical to dreams

>>8034920
They're dreamlike in the sense that they run a line of logic adjacent to but divergent from reality. Stop being such a tryhard

>>8034877
This. Recommendations for that dreamy feel:

The Galactic Pot Healer
Ubik
The Divine Invasion
Maze of Death
The Game Players of Titan

Except I don't believe that's what dreams are, in dreams there is no line of logic, it's a chaotic mess of seeming incoherent experience points that in retrospect seem to speak a narrative. It's important because I'm saying OP is not actually looking for something like Kafka

>>8034843
Not really a book but ( loosely) based on one

Satyricon by Federico fellini

Probably my favorite movie and similar to what you are looking for ( in a visual medium ofc)

1Q84 fa sho

The dream cycle by lovecraft.

or

just read more by the authors you mentioned.

In the dream everything seems logical for the dreamer, even then when it obviously isn´t. Thats what often happens in Kafka´s work

>>8036443
It isn't though, in Kafka's works the protagonist is constantly confused, at most there's others around him who claim to know whats going on but even they're suspect often.
