This is what the book "2666" is about. It's an amazing book. It has a strange style that grates on some people, but it is mind-blowing if you think about it as a spiral that starts outside the center and with each page circles you closer and closer to this dark core that you will drop into and see horror after horror.
Bolano knew Mexico was fucked up, and he attempted to understand why. I hope lots of people read the book.

For the lazy:
After reading up on each of these, I would be most interested in 1Q84. Second would be Underworld, and third would probably be Les Miserables.
(edited for poor format)
I'd recommend Roberto Bolaño's 2666, link here. It's complex, interwoven, and in some ways clinical - some have described it by saying that it reads like a journalist reporting events, rather than a writer spinning a yarn. Some also don't like it. I, for one, loved it.
It's broken up into 5 sections (over its ~900 pages), and each section is told differently, with a different focus, a different main character, a different flavor. There are overlaps and characters in common, but it is far from redundant. Unlike Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, where the same story is relayed from two very different points of view, the events here are not all one and the same, but rather share themes, elements, singular events, or timelines.
It's hard to explain. :)
I think of it a little like rivers: rather than 5 tributaries coming together to form 1 fast-moving river, the five sections read more like 5 streams that might originate from the same mountain range and pass through the same terrain and lead to the same lake, but don't necessarily mingle.
Here's the Amazon blurb, since I've rambled for too long already:
>Three academics on the trail of a reclusive German author; a New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; a police detective in love with an elusive older woman--these are among the searchers drawn to the border city of Santa Teresa, where over the course of a decade hundreds of women have disappeared.
For the record, I'd also recommend Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, but unlike 2666 - where you need to take breaks - the Ender books are such addictive page-turners that I've sooner lost sleep than put them down. They'll be gone before you know it!
Where There's Love, There's Hate by Silvina Ocampo and Adolfo Bioy Casares (who has a couple great novellas worth checking out)
2666 by Roberto Bolaño. Bolaño also has The Skating Rink, although that one takes place in a fictional Spanish town.
The Boys from Brazil by Ira Levin
2666 by Roberto Bolaño is a long book, although doesn't quite fit your criteria. It doesn't really have a criteria. I couldn't quite put it down, though.

This

Thanks so much for the contest! :D
Well so much depends on everything. Some basic suggestions:.
Contemporary Science Fiction:
Ted Chaing, Stories of Your Life and Others his short stories are science fiction gems. https://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Others-Chiang/dp/1101972122.
Classical: Vladimir Nabokov Short Stories, amazing prose. Though English was his second language he wrote a good number, especially the later half, in English, often challenging themes from dubious narrators.
https://www.amazon.com/Stories-Vladimir-Nabokov/dp/0679729976.
International Fiction: Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore, reductionist, clean prose, with symbolic/metaphorical imagery that blends hard-boiled noir, Japanese animism, and surrealism. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1400079276/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_RxntybB7PYK93
Post Modern: Roberto Bolano, 2666: A Novel, perhaps the odd relative of Murakami in structure if not style. Sometimes rambling, though powerful prose with surrealist moments within graphic and "visceral" scenes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0312429215/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ZAntybTW2XXJX.
Deconstructionism: Mark Danieleski, House of Leaves, carefully crafted entangled adventure horror of a story, explained in the footnotes of an essay, edited by a tattoo artist, written by a blind man of a homemade video of a house gone awry. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0375703764/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XMntyb3RT3RKQ
