Who do you recommend?

Hi,

When I saw this movie I was in awe (laughing to tears of course) thanks to the voice over narration which is like exposing the character's psychology in a cruel, highly-witted way. I wonder if anybody could point out an author that resembles Harry Bloke's style, because I don't know any modern satirists, outside the excellent american animated tv shows. I've been researching in wikipedia and found Phillip Roth, do you know him?

well thanks in advance!

Philip Roth is a great writer. Ebert said on his review for this movie that Harry Block resembles Roth...

Sure, I will try to get it as soon as I can, thanks. Also I forgot to mention that a really dig, some, of Chucks Palahniuk novels, post-Haunted haven't read much, but Survivor, Choke and Fight Club are top-notch, even though they kinda resemble each other, but in the end quite enjoyable.
