Prove to me you possess free will and can think critically. List one book - just one, that's all I'm asking - that you think should be considered a classic by a forgotten or obscure writer. Obviously such terms are relative so ask yourself if you've ever seen that writer discussed on /lit/ before - if not then you've got yourself a pretty good indicator. Actually, not even a classic, just a work that deserves due recognition. Bonus points if the novel was not originally published in English.

I'll get the ball rolling. Though this is sort of cheating as it is already considered a Dutch classic.

Because I have never met another person in real life who hasn't read this book outside of high school. None of them have taken the time to fully appreciate it's simplicity and sadness

Pic related is pretty obscure, and imo it's a hidden gem.

I know it says "classic bestseller" right there on the cover, but I've only ever heard it discussed by Catholics and sci-fi nerds (non-overlapping) and I've never seen it on /lit/.

That's stupid. How does that prove that the books that everybody says are classics, aren't?

Max Aub is criminally underrated, and he wrote te best novels about the Spanish Civil War.

Agreed. His "Field" novels (what he called, El laberinto mágico) are some of the best mid-20th C. novels I've read, combining political intrigue, social satire, modernist electricity and clever prose. My favourite is Campo de almendras.

The Collected Poems of Keith Castellain Douglas. His career was ended by a piece of Normandy shrapnel at the tender age of 24.
