I don't see any "prog" writer.

But i consider "Acid test" to be the most psychedelic "novel" (relating a true story):

Well.. Kafka for me. Folowed by Poe, Aligheri and Dostoievsky

Hard to find Latiin American writters on this forums as it's hard to find British or USA writters on Latin forums, but agree with you García Marquez, Julio Cortazar, Jose Agustín (Even when more historic, maybe closer to Genesis ) or the Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa (La Guerra del Fin del Mundo is an epic) are missing,

All the Real Wonderful Latin American Movement is very Proggy, because it blends  reality with fantasy as Prog blends influences.

La Guerra del Fin del Mundo (The war at the end of the world) should be a tremendous prog-epic. Can you imagine a song talking about some people in the end of the 19th century waiting the return of a king disappeared in the 16th century. And it was real, not a fiction! Poor peasants in Brazil's innerland (circa 1895) defied the Republic and declared Dom Sebastian, a Portuguese king who disappeared in a battle in 1578 as their king. They fought a war and died believing in it (and other things por supuesto)!

But it would take almost as many CD's as The Ring of the Nibelungen, because the book has almost 1,000 pages of incredible images and tradition, I only could read it when I had hepatitis A (Back in the early 90's), because I had to stay in bed for a month, and it took me several days, but it is so wonderful book that I didn't even saw TV just to finish it.
