I love Martin Amis's work and am looking for more comic novelists like him—writers who produce funny, literary works in stylish prose.
Some of my other favorite authors who fit the bill perfectly are Vladimir Nabokov and Saul Bellow (Amis's two big influences), Will Self, Don DeLillo, A.L. Kennedy, Charles Dickens, and Jane Austen.
I'm looking for more books that feel like these guys.

I’m currently reading Deacon King Kong by James McBride and I highly recommend it.

David Foster Wallace is worth checking out. I’d recommend reading the first chapter (after a short introduction) in *The Pale King*
