I've met so many writers who love this novel (with good reason)
"The Miraculous Day of Amelia Gomez" by John Rechy. A lot of Rechey's later novels are damn near unreadable, but this is a beautiful book.
"The Damnation of Theron Ware" by Harold Frederick. A little known 19th century masterpiece. Bonus points to Frederick for saying, "Henry James spent his time licking the floorboards of every third rate hostess in Europe"
"The Sacrilege of Alan Kent" by Erskine Caldwell. Wm. Faulkner wasn't the first southern author to realise the possibilities of modernism.
"A Feast of Snakes" by Harry Crews. Read this modern cracker gothic (or I'll beat you half to death in a drunken rage)
