One alternative I would suggest would be The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt.
I would second the Sister Brothers and perhaps also suggest The Goldfinch by Donna Tarrit. I distinctly remember admiring the prose in both of these however in the case of the later I couldn't stand the characters, story or ending but I think I'm in the minority on that.
