What do you read next after DFW?
I'm looking for very relatable post-ironic humour. The more twee, the better. I want an enjoyable, cutesy exploration of emotions.
not meme-ing btw

Awful.
Just go back to Pynchon and DeLillo. New Sincerity is dumb.

For real "new sincerity" read the later Raymond Carver collections that weren't as heavily edited by Gordon Lish: "Cathedral", "Beginners", and the New Stories in "Where I'm calling from". DFW loved the later Carver stuff.

Kafka.
DFW even has an essay on how funny Kafka is.

Franzen? I dunno, The Corrections read like a more light-hearted DFW
