i really love Our man in Havana, pretty tight fucking espionage right tharrr
Tieck, Richter, E.T.A. Hoffmann.. /lit/ likes the German Romantic philosophers, but, other than Goethe, very little of the actual German literature of that same era. On the other hand, this isn't so surprising....

Having read The Lime Twig and Adventures in the Alaskan Skin Trade, John Hawkes should definitely be discussed around here more. Also planning on reading The Cannibal and The Beetle Leg soon.
Adding a suggestion of my own, Henry Roth, Call it Sleep is beautiful. I own but haven't read Mercy of a Rude Stream yet. Also Saul Bellow is another author I don't think I've seen really discussed around here.

I can't think of an author of fiction post 1970s better than Calvino, just my opinion though
