Can anyone recommend me a book or books similar to Mulholland Drive in style or subject.
I've found a few Latin American detective/mystery novels, set in the 80's and 90's with elements of psychedelia and political conspiracies, where the murders or mysteries are never solved and the protagonists are left battered and worse off than before, or dead.
Anyone have any leads?

By the way, I just looked up Paul Auster because of the thread from earlier and the New York Trilogy looks like it's getting close to what I want.

Paul Auster is not like Lynch. Kafka is like Lynch

what are the Latin American books you describe?
Read the book of Wild at Heart its good

obvious choice but 2666
The Rat Trilogy (with Dance, Dance, Dance) would be up your alley too i think
Early Haruki Murakami is very Lynchian at times.
He's not the most popular author on this board but has his fans, myself included.
That's a pretty dumb poster.

Not OP but can you recommand the most surrealistic ones ?

His first three (Pinball, 1973, Hear the Wind Sing and Wild Sheep Chase) form a trilogy that gets progressively more surreal. The first two are very short and easy to read.
After Dark, again, very short, conveys a great atmosphere that has a surreal feeling to it (one that perfectly captures what it's like to be awake in the early hours of the morning after a long day).
He has other surreal books, but if you're not familiar with his work they are good starting points.

Mario Mendoza's Scorpio City has been one of the best examples of what I'm talking about. Leñero's El garabato is somewhat so, as well as Morirás lejos by Jose Emilio Pacheco. Even moreso, Sábato's two longer novels, Sobre héroes y tumbas and Abaddón el exterminador are sort of philosophical crime novels.

Came here to recommend that.
Kafka, but it's more lie the "early" Lynch (the short movies, Eraserhead etc.) Lynch himself almost adapted The Metamorphosis to big screen.
Since Lynch adapted Wild at Heart for big screen and Barry Gifford co-write Lost Highway - very similar in theme and structure to Mulholland Drive -, Gifford is a obvious recomendation.
