If you're after obscure titles than Zama by Antonio di Bendetto is fantastic.

Madrian The Seventh Fr. Rolfe (Baron Corvo)
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)

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?
