If I like Charlie Kaufman (especially Synecdoche, New York),

There's a place I long to be,
a certain board that's dear to me.
Home to reader and plebs, it's called /lit/.

I post there and I'll talk there
my first home, I hope to stay there
Have some taste or at least try there.
Sweet /lit/.

And when I'm buried and I'm dead.
Upstate trolls will steal my taste.
For every anon that you know
once the thread dies and goes
Think you'll see them, well no.
You won't see them again.

But there's always a last time that you see everyone.
There's always a never again.

the Naked Lunch film was kind of like a Charlie Kaufman movie in some ways
I've never read Burroughs, but just a suggestion

You sound like you'd dig Pynchon (I'm 100% serious)

Start with V.

He steals a lot from Tennessee Williams. Check out The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore, he used elements from it in both Synecdoche and Anomalisa.

In terms of hitting similar tones: Pessoa, Cioran, Calvino.
