Hello literates,

Since the death of the great David Foster Wallace, I've been on the hunt for other writers who are similar stylistically. I've read things like Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son and Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, and I'd love to find more things in this vein.

I guess my question is....who's the next DFW? Who have you heard of in the post-postmodern style?

Best,
bluehicke

If you're looking for stuff even more recent than DFW, I believe Gary Shteyngart is considered post-modern, though I've only read the first few chapters of Super Sad True Love Story, which was decent.
