nah, this thread has potential.
See >>7563944
I don't know Auster, but I like Hesse and Zweig. So I'll take a look into Auster.

It may be on topic, but if OP is inviting shitposting, he needs to leave.

We have enough of that with the "delete lit" shitposter.

I'm the OP. When I typed "shitposting" it was meant tongue-in-cheek. Obviously it doens't translate well online, so I'm sorry because I know your feels. I access /lit/ per catalog and every trash-thread I hide. But I hope some people will get some solid recs out of this thread. Let's just wait for the wave of trash to decline.

Probably add Tolstoy. Maybe Pynchon.

I admit I haven't read much French or Spanish literature.

What have you read by Arno? I read one of his stories on the bus the other day (Drummer for the Czar) and was pretty underwhelmed. Wasn't a fan of the jargon and the wacky grammar seemed pretty inconsistent and not all that interesting. Do you think his novels/novellas are better? Felt similarly reading some Flann O'Brien stories, turned me off completely from actually reading his novels

Kenzaburo Oe's A Personal Matter may be my favorite book of all time, but I do not think the rest of his works is at the same level so can't list him as one of my three.
