I've read everything he's ever written, and saw him read a few times. You will probably like him, even if you didn't like my other recommendation (Post Office).
His whole act is about being angst filled, zen, product of a strict New England yankee family, but looking for ways to deal. Later books showed him over the hump. I almost posted in reply to your notice post, not to worry because he wasn't suicide material. Turns out he tried in the last little bit. If he did its a loss of a really talented guy.
