E L Doctorow recommends

Zero (1983) Ignácio de Loyola Lopes Brandão "A wild, surreal novel, vulgar, funny, self-conscious, painful. It is done in short takes, each with a headline; a kitchen sink kind of book, envisioning the hideous nature of life under a repressive regime of the 1960s."	The Dylanist (1991) Brian Morton "Astonishingly mature."	Seeds of Another Summer (1996) Beth Powning "Beth Powning's beautiful celebration of natural life is meet and proper for these unnatural times. I think it`will be read for years to come."
Broken As Things Are (2004) Martha Witt "A sensitive Southern tale of weirdly imaginative children and hapless adults. Ms. Witt has staked out a territory somewhere between Harper Lee and Flannery O'Connor."
