I read some M. Houellebecq, but aside from that I am familiar mostly with 20th century writers like Mishima, but I got through them fairly quick. Preferably people who are alive and writing right now

I enjoy Ron Unz but he doesn't write books. However if you read some of his articles he is extremely well read and has tons of citations you can dig through.
does he have a blog?

I think anon was trolling. Tao Lin is deep into alternative health and conspiracy theories, he basically invented alt-lit, but he is not overtly political. I would still encourage you to read him, I personally am a fan of Taipei, and everything else is kind of mid. But as a body of work and a style it is impressive. Tao Lin's existence is like a timeline of the past few decades. He's more aligned with DFW than whaleback or Mishima tho.
His early work he is a xanny-numbed Ritalin fueled incel living like a monk in NYC and he's kind of transformed into a psychedelic using natural remedy monk living in Hawaii and Taiwan with his parents.
And "he's just a meme" insofar as he was an early adopter of leaning into being a meme for publicity but like, that's the point, man.

I was not sure how to respond to that question I honestly think anon was just trying to slyly bump their own tnread
Gerald Murnane is a conservative in that Australian way, low-keyed but faintly sharp-edged.
