Thomas Bernhard?
I would say Tom McCarthy (at least for C) little bit; and I know, he's from UK, so does not count that much.
Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès, look for the Where Tigers Are at Home, don't know about his other books.
Ernesto Sabato and his On Heroes and Tombs, it's different of course, but it's big book about lot of things.
What about Sorokin? I haven't read him, but read a lot about some of his books (Day of the Oprichnik and mostly Telluria) and it would somewhat fit.
Also: in a way, Hans Henny Jahnn; maybe Harry Mulisch and his The discovery of heaven; maybe Günter Grass and his The tin drum; also heard great things about Albert Vigoleis Thelen and his The Island of Second Sight.
For the encyclopedic knowledge and the wideness of topics in books I would say even Sebald and Claudio Magris.
Another name that occurs to me is Péter Esterházy, especially his Celestial Harmonies.

Ice Trilogy is what you want from Sorokin senpai. It's good read it.
>>7469642
can you be more precise?
>>7469858
Crazy style-pushing novelists who write about post-1950s culture in a prescient manner.
>>7469741
Bely is top-tier crazy
