The surrealist, alternative realities,  part.    In Kafka,  there's a 
story about fish falling from the sky and dual personalities (or 
something)   And in Wind-Up Bird I think the war episode in China was 
kind of surreal.     In Borges' Ficciones  try  "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis 
Tertius" (a fave),  "The Garden of Forking Paths,"  or any of them 
really.
