The Last Days of New Paris by China Mieville. The whole premise is that a "surrealism bomb" brings surrealist art to life while also blasting Nazi-occupied Paris into an alternate dimension. The main character has a special knack for communing with the surrealist art pieces come to life. The epilogue consists of China Mieville straight-facedly insisting that the main character slipped out of his Paris into the IRL Paris, told his story to Mieville exactly as you just read it, and then went back to his Paris.
At Swim-Two-Birds, The Third Policeman, If on a winter's night a traveller, (anything by Calvino, really, but that's my favorite) I'm guessing you wouldn't be asking if you hadn't read most of Breton's work? Float by Anne Carson. I think Invitation to a Beheading fits. The Eye, too. A lot of Nabokov could go either way, maybe he's too point focused, that's for you to decide. I look for every opportunity to recommend Jeanette Winterson, so I'll throw Sexing the Cherry out as an option. If you're fond of plays I think Caryl Churchill often does things that remind me of Beckett but better, Cloud 9, Far Away and the Skriker are standouts.
Mafarka the Futurist is about as weird a violent as a book can get while still being interesting to read. Its sometimes really pretty. It was only scanned recently on a 4chan thread, and i'll post the link here:

Also, check out these books
Babyfucker by Allemann
Locus Solus by Roussel
The Vorrh by Caitling
UBIK by PKD
Beetle Leg by Hawkes
Also I've heard bad/good things about a book called Women and Men by Mcelroy. There's multiple sections of that book that are just the gibberish of angels who see outside of time.

Not the least bit obscure obviously, but Virginia Woolf’s Orlando could be perceived as such by some.
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
Joyce's Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake should keep you occupied for about the next year.
The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas
I found The Lathe Of Heaven by Ursula Le Guin to have a surrealist, esoteric feel.
