The Anatomy of Melancholy
If you're after obscure titles than Zama by Antonio di Bendetto is fantastic.
Stumbled on it and it became my favorite book.
Also extremely good from NYRB:
Zweig's "beware of pity" (saddest book I've read)
von Rezzori's "memoirs of an anti semite"
Malaparte's "the skin" (most shocking/depraved book I've read)
This
the Invention of Morel
...
Pretty much any of them. But if you're looking for memes
>Williams
>Szabo
>Zweig
>Amis
>Gass
and the ones mentioned in this thread
Are they the criterion collection for literature?
Life and Fate.
holy fuck this. Never thought I'd see someone else on Veeky Forums who read Zama. it's great.
also check out Krhzizhanovsky (sp?) if you like russians.
the invisibility cloak by ge fei is amazing

I really loved Dirty Snow
I'm maybe 60 pages in and it's quiet (not in a bad way), slow, and thoughtful. Can you tell me what your big takeaway from it was? So far it seems like it's meant to be a (semi autobiographical?) realistic depiction of a life as a whole, with the good and bad, the interesting and boring, etc. Hasn't really drawn me in with the introspective pace, and it doesn't look like it'll change drastically.
Any input?
i think so
