Thanks for the tip, blacbird, it's hard to find these sort of things.

What about sharing some of the little known gems we have stumbles across too?

I would recommend:
- "Out Stealing Horses" by Norwegian writer Per Petterson.
- "The Half-Brother" by Norwegian writer Lars Saabye Christensen.
- "Angels of the Universe" by Icelandic writer Einar Mar Gudmundsson.

OK; all of these 3 writers are well-known in their home country, but might not be so known abroad. They are all well worth reading.
