Robert Rankin -- just found him recently, our local library has a couple of his books on tape read by Rankin himself ("Fandom of the Operator" and "Nostradamus Ate My Hamster"). He's had some books published in the US, looks like he's had a lot more published in the UK, where's he's got a much bigger following...
I liked the two books I listened to, very much recommended if you like Douglas Adams, not quite as many philosophy jokes as Adams.

I'd call it British absurdism -- most notable, I think, for its vocal stylings -- mixed with social satire. Oddly, I'd use almost the same description for Wodehouse, but the two are completely different while at the same time being very much the same. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999
