Finnegans Wake, it even mentions LSD at one point

Republic

Having read the first two pages of Finnegans Wake, and having done acid once, I feel like it accurately replicates what it must be like to try reading a regular novel while on acid (a completely futile exercise, for my feeble mind at least).

Dubliners, Portrait & Ulysses are all amazing though.

Gravity's Rainbow.

Useful. Thanks.

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test has some convincing portrayals of acid headspace throughout. It's a semi-historical description of how LSD got out of the hospitals and into the "mainstream" too.

David Ohle's Motorman.

The obvious answer is Ulysses. I have a dream of writing a novel that ends in a similar way, with a stream-of-consciousness rant from a character who had been incidental up until that point. We'll see if I ever get around to it.

I tried writing a short story from the perspective of a girl I used to like, and I thought I was stylistically modelling it on Portnoys Complaint and Carpenters Gothic with a little bit of Sorrentino's Imaginative Qualities, but 10 pages in I started feeling like it was a crappy imitation of Penelope.

Finnegans Wake was published 1939; LSD was synthesized in 1938. I haven't read it personally, but I kinda doubt Joyce had the opportunity to try LSD and change the book he'd been working on since 1922 to reflect that experience.

Best answer ITT.

I agree.
Steppenwolf was one of the first non-fantasy/history books i read years ago and i did not see that ending coming.
