I remember reading Myer Levin's Gore and Igor when I was a teenager back in the late 1960s. It's a black comedy but I found it inspiring in an odd sort of way. It's about two beat (or hippie) Jewish poets, one from the USA and once from the USSR who cross paths during Israel's Six-Day War. Kind or a forgotten masterpiece.
I'd recommend almost anything by Levin.
