A few more I'd add that I think are incredible but very underrated or not well known:
The Kryptonite Kid by Joseph Torchia
A novel written in the form of a series of letters to Superman from a young boy growing up in an abusive home in the 50s.
The Nuclear Age by Tim O'Brien
Far better than the more acclaimed
The Things They Carried imo. It's the life story of an obsessive man told in fragments as he digs a massive hole in his backyard for a fallout shelter.
The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break by Steven Sherrill
A funny, sad, poetic book about the Minotaur living out his days in a trailer park and working as a prep cook. It's a hard book to describe, but it really is something special.
