Thomas King's Green Grass, Running Water is absolutely packed with allusions!. There are some great allusions to Melville's Moby Dick and Benito Cereno!. There is also a character who is constantly described as a General Custer figure!. It's hilarious and I recommend it!.

also really good for allusions:
Malcolm Lowry - Under the Volcano
James Joyce - Ulysses
T!.S!. Eliot - The Waste LandWww@QuestionHome@Com
