Richard,
     
If you haven't read Thomas Berger's _Little Big Man_, that would be my 
first 
     
recommendation (don't know if it will meet your strangeness criterion, 
     
though).  There's also Oakley Hall's _Warlock_, which we discussed on the 
     
     
list a while back, and which TRP endorses in his intro to _Been Down So 
Long 
     
. . ._ (and which I still haven't found, curse the luck).

Thanks, Skip.  I'm actually engrossed in Blood Meridian thanks to this 
group and I must say it's weird enough for me--some really wonderful 
writing there.
     
On Warlock, I've tried to find it too.  Strangely enough I happen to be 
visiting a library out on Long Island that is connected with my job and 
during my visit I happened to get a tour of the back-shelves where books 
are or will be discarded.  As we were talking, guess what book popped out. 
 Yup Warlock.  Being as this was a work-related visit I couldn't ask my 
colleague whether I could steal something from his collection.  I might go 
back to him if I get totally frustrated...no rare Pynchon's hanging around 
(I checked) (sigh)
     
Anyway...
