Re: What other central european authors do you read?
Thomas Bernhard's Lime Works would sit by the above suggestions pretty snugly.
Ben Hecht, the American screenwriter of the original Scarface, wrote the very Kafkaesque books Fantazius Mallare and Kingdom Of Evil. The former H.P.Lovecraft praised the illustrations in; kinda Osman Spare via Harry Clarke - though I imagine the primary influence on all of it - text and design - was Beardsley.
