Where should I start with literature if I like the non-linear plotting and allegory of this?

I don't know what "this" is, but one of the earliest and most infamous novels for a non-linear narrative structure is "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman", but be warned that it is really difficult to read.

Watch it. Get over the hump of the first eight episodes and it's brilliant

>>9250637
fuck tristram shandy and his hobby horses. Tom Jones and Gargantua and Pantagruel are superior.

Dude, the first episodes are the best.

Infinite Jest is the obvious big hit that you're going to want to read at some point

if you want a more palatable starting point, Private Citizens is a pretty easy and enjoyable read, but the non-linearity is pretty basic compared to IJ. I can't really speak to it on the level of allegory

Factually incorrect

Objectively right

infinite jest isn't funny at all though

>>9250613
Shakespeare's comedies are the closest to arrested development you'll find in literary form, DESU

deep humor, obsessed with puns, endlessly referential, family fuck ups, corny shit like twins and other gimmicks abused to no end, etc.

There are plenty if hilarious episodes
