I've only recently got into reading and I've just finished >image related
I know this is probably a pleb question, and I'm sorry to waste all of your time, but where do I go within the literary nonsense genre from here?
I'm prefer to stick with the English before reading American, but if the next logical step from this is an American author, so be it.
I googled about this but I'm finding it hard to distinguish between childrens' novels and novels adults would appreciate.

Have you read 1984? I feel like it's a really good crossover from YA into adult lit. People on here talk shit about it but even now that I've moved into more dense and difficult works I still am really fond of that book.

Jonathan Swift
'literaly nonsense' is not a genre. Maybe satire is what you mean?

I haven't! I'll definitely look into him.

Again, I haven't, but that's a book I've been meaning to read for a long time. The little I know about it makes it seem more relevant now than ever before.

Maybe, that's just the genre that wikipedia classified Alice into (I know, >implying wikipedia)
I'll add Swift to the list though, thank you.

I suspect you might be more interested in cheeky pseudologic and wordplay than in "literary nonsense". For the former look into dada and pataphysics, though that's mostly French; for the latter in the Carroll style read his Hunting of the Snark; for actual nonsense, see any of the collaborative texts /lit/ shat out, and realise it's only worth one laugh.
