my favorites are jeanette winterson and haruki murakami (translated amazingly well).
both writers have a heavenly talent for finding beauty in the world around us and tweaking it just so, so that you're drawn into the books dreamy combo of mystery, tragedy, and philosophy.
for winterson, try sexing the cherry and written on the body.
for murakami, try "hard boiled wonderland and the end of the world" and "a wild sheep chase." his "after the quake" short stories are quite nice too, but certainly not in the same vein as his novels.
not being a writer, i don't have influences. sorry. hope y'all like these recommendations.
