Good Books by Authors You May Not Have Heard of but Really Ought to Know - Page 2

Our maverick English Teacher and resident contrarian lists 100 works of fiction by writers whom he believes deserve a wider audience than they currently reach. Some are formerly well-known writers who have fallen into undeserved obscurity in recent times, some are niche writers, and some are unclassifiable. All are worth knowing and worth reading.
