Recommend me some interesting lesser known German-speaking writers. Anyone whose fame is equal or less to Hermann Bürger will do. I'm tired of mainstream shit like Jünger, Mann etc.

Just because you just discovered them doesn’t mean other people don’t read them. Do you think your parents disappear for good when they leave your sight only until they come back within your vision?

Some somewhat historic , semiautobiographic books on Prewar interwar Europe in rural and city settings.This has been an interest thus far.

Hans Bergel , an author who lived in Siebenbürgen in todays Romania which was part if Germany before WW2.It became communist and the author lived under the dictatorship and in persecution.

Similar story from Siegfried von Vegesack - Die baltische Tragödie, in the baltic region.Rural setting with lovely descriptions of their day to day life and traditions.

Horst Lange - Schwarze Weide set in rural setting in Germany, Some magical realism.Great atmosphere.
These can only be found in Germany No translation available.
Some of his non - fiction WW2 journals have been translated I think.

Gert Jonke , austrian author for some lovely imaginery and fun books full of fantasy.It is literature and nothing to do with the fantasy genre.
He has been translated into English.

Peter Stamm, swiss contemporary author.
He has been translated into english.
Has won some literary awards.

Fritz Zorn - Mars Semiautobiography of an unlived life.
There is an old translation into english.
