The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz by Russell Hoban. It’s his first novel. Picked it up at the used bookshop today. Love the cover. I’m sure it’s as weird as the other stuff I’ve read by him (Riddley Walker, Pilgermann, Kleinzheit).

No, it’s about 25% less weird. :)

Seriously, it’s a wonderful book but closer to some sort of magical realism than to the outright strangeness of the other books you mention
