If you haven't read Kaufman's Antkind, get thee to a bookstore posthaste! It's absolutely brilliant (and long!). It's a book about an unfilmable movie and the book is, according to Kaufman, supposed to be unfilmable. One of my fave books I've read in the last few years.
Well, I can see those comparisons. Kafka for the weirdness--lots of it--but if you like Kaufman's style then no surprise there. And Pynchon only because it's a long, twisty thing, but I can't read Pynchon without wanting to slash my wrists, whereas Antkind is very readable.

The comparisons to Kafka and Pynchon gave me pause (masters both but not my favorite flavor of master), but if you like Antkind maybe I'll pick it up!

Gravity's Razor strikes again!
