Everyone should add Hopscotch to their TBR list, it’s a fucking brilliant novel. To the OP; are you looking for unorthodox structures or unorthodox narratives? If it’s unorthodox narratives you’re afrter you should try the Magic Realists; Salman Rushdie, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Gunter Grass, Haruki Murakami. If it’s unorthodox structure you want, I’d recommend Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses and The Enchantress of Florence, and most especially Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita.

Larry. Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Besides Rayuela/Hopscotch, I'd throw in Cortázar's 62: A Model Kit, just about everything by Milorad Pavić, Goran Petrović's An Atlas Traced by the Sky, some of Roberto Bolaño's works, like 2666, Rabelais, Leonora Carrington's works, and while technically "normal" in structure, there is quite a bit to Clarice Lispector's short fiction that is unconventional. Oh, and Judith Schalanksy's Atlas of Remote Islands would also be a good choice. Doubtless, I'm forgetting many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
