So, I've been reading a lot of Raymond Chandler lately and the guy's got me real bummed out. I'm looking for something light but not frivolous, with enough substance that I have to bear with the words rather than skim along next to them. Something like pic related, or Amnesia Moon, is the mode I'm after, but not necessarily more Lethem.
Recos?

Bump, you buttholes. I know you're bored. Tell me what to read!

China MiƩville is a decent horror/mystery writer.

I've read him. Embassytown had an interesting creature concept, but was fuzzy where it wasn't obvious. Generally 'meh'.

Maybe some Latin magical realism? I don't know if it qualifies as light but it's certainly no Chandler.
