Személy szerint velem a Gólyakalifa nagyon rezonált. Tímár Virgil Fia se egy rossz regény.
Még a "Keresztül-kasul az életement" tudom ajánlani tőle.
És a beszélgetőfüzetei is érdekesek, bár azt inkább csak úgy ajánlom hogy leülsz és belelapozol véletlenszerűen. Én úgy szoktam.
(Meg ugye alap a Jónás Könyve és az Európai Irodalom Története.)

Bevallom neked egy kicsit olyan személyi-kultusz szerűen kezelem Babitsot és maga az életrajza és az irodalmi tevékenysége legalább annyira lenyűgöz mint maguk az írásai.

We don't have a lot of great writers, but the prize has to go to Vilhelm Moberg. The Emigrants have real soul. Most other famous Swedish writers, the ones writing children's literature being excepted, just wrote anti-establishment trite that has aged poorly. Not a property great literature has. Astrid Lindgren and Selma Lagerlöf are also really good.

Here's one piece from a musical based on the Emigrants.

It's tricky because America has the best writers with no writing to show for it. DFW, A Theroux, Gass, and Bourroughs wrote better essays than anyone else ever could or will - but their novels all miss something. It seems we're like the Romans, who will only have two poets. If I really had to take a guess who's the best literary writer for the US, it'd be John Barth.
