Hello. I tried looking at the wikia, wikipedia and goodreads for Avant-Garde fiction, but I'd like a larger list, preferably chronologicaly.
You can be as avant-garde and obscure as you like.

Let me guess. You're a 16 year old that thinks himself some tasteful avant garde intellectual, that went from listening to the beatles to the most obscure avant teen stuff on /mu/ he could get his hands on. Now, you've decided you're also an intellectual reader, but can only read something when it's labeled as avant garde.
I hate tasteless poser hacks so much.
Remember, avant-garde doesn't count unless it's NEW: Woolf literally said that herself.
Check out Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi. Just finished reading about him for my modernism and the avant-garde class.
If the thread is still up by tomorrow I'll upload the PDFs for the play and related criticism.
Jarry was fucking awesome. Later on in his life he went full on alcoholic to strip away his personality so he could become Ubu Roi, a character he created when he was a schoolboy.
serious response, look at this website: http://www.fc2.org/
avant-garde publisher, DFW was a fan.

This accurately describes me when I was 16-17. I really liked pic related and the subsequent volumes, if OP doesn't mind some poetry. Given that they're anthologies of 20th century poetry they're obviously not new but a decent chunk is of poets and schools of poetry still relatively obscure.
