georges perec: w, memoirs of a childhood or species of spaces
j.l. borges: ficciones
j.m. coetzee: waiting for the barbarians
w.g. sebald: austerlitz, rings of saturn or vertigo
calvino: castle of crossed destinies
marcel benabou: why i have not written any of my books
william s burroughs: the ticket that exploded
j g ballard: atrocity exhibition
i dont really understand what is understood by pretentious here, but i figured out the kind of books being asked for by reading through the thread. or something. i gues pretentious is just the opposite of tedious reading.
