Thanks for these! Especially the Tutuola.

I'll go ahead and share some stuff I was saving up too. Didn't really think there was enough for a whole sharethread, but as this is already one, might as well!

>Tubutsch by Albert Ehrenstein
“Ehrenstein was one of the very first of the German Expressionists, his early poems causing an immediate sensation. Tubutsch, however made him famous - it reached five figure sales and went through numerous editions. It was written in 1907, published in 1911. Its melange of bitter humour, self-reproach and poverty-stricken megalomania reflected aspects of its author. Ehrenstein was something of a loner, he travelled continuously after 1918, despite his financial plight. Only in his last years did he settle down (involuntarily) - increasing poverty and isolation finally caught up with him in New York, where he died in 1950.”

>An Offering for the Dead by Hans Erich Nossack

"An unexplained catastrophe has stripped an unnamed city-and most likely the world-of all inhabitants except for the narrator, who wanders its silent streets. Without relationships to others, he has lost himself, and he finds that his dreams and musings hold more clues to his identity than does his waking life. His memories escape individual experience and dive into archetype, so that what Nossack ultimately presents is a mythopoetic history."

>Tainaron by Leena Krohn

"TAINARON consists of a series of letters sent beyond the sea from a city of insects. TAINARON is a book of changes. It speaks of metamorphoses that test all of nature from a flea to a star, from stone and grass to a human. The same irresistible force that gives us birth, also kills us. Nominated for the prestigious Finlandia prize, this is the perfect introduction to the work of a modern fabulist."

>The Complete Works of Urmuz

“The collected short and absurdist stories of the Romanian writer “Urmuz”, dating from the early years of the twentieth century up until their author’s death in 1923. Urmuz’s work has been claimed as a forerunner of Dada, and of Surrealism as well, and shows again the sharp sense of the vitality of the avant-garde amongst Romanian practitioners.”

>The High-Life by Jean-Pierre Martinet

“Adolphe Marlaud's rule of conduct is simple: live as little as possible so as to suffer as little as possible. For Marlaud, this involves carrying out a meager existence on rue Froidevaux in Paris, tending to his father's grave in the cemetery across the street, and earning the outlines of a living through a part-time job at the funerary shop on the corner. It does not, however, take into account the intentions of the obese concierge of his building, who has set her widowed sights on his diminutive frame, and whose aggressive overtures are to trigger a burlesque and obscene tragedy. Originally published in 1979, The High Life introduces cult French author Jean-Pierre Martinet into English. It is a novella that perfectly outlines Martinet's dark vision: the terrors of loneliness, the grotesque buffoonery of sexual relations, the essential humiliation of the human condition and the ongoing trauma of twentieth-century history.”

>Who Are You? by Anna Kavan

"First published in 1963, cult writer Anna Kavan's unheralded tale of a calamitous army marriage in the tropics unfolds in a vaguely post-war colonial setting. Narrated by the girl,"" her story plunges into a claustrophobic nightmare, played out twice, as she tells us about her husband, ""Mr. Dog Head,"" a heavy drinker who rapes her and kills rats with his tennis racket. Told against a background of intense heat and malevolent servants, the book seems virtually soaked in a Sylvia Plath-like surreal sense of youthful alienation."

>The Museum of Useless Efforts by Cristina Peri Rossi

“In The Museum of Useless Efforts Cristina Peri Rossi renders familiar, everyday situations uncanny through lyrical reinterpretations; at the same time, she somehow makes the uncanny appear quite ordinary. Crafting peculiar—and sometimes claustrophobically small—worlds, Peri Rossi explores the universal themes of desire, violence, and truth and the simultaneous and contradictory human capacities to repress and resist, speak and silence, desire and ignore. In these tales an insomniac is tormented by a stubborn lamb that refuses to jump over the fence; the momentary hesitation of a man on a crowded subway staircase who forgets whether he was going up or down unleashes pandemonium; and a patient receives a frantic call from his psychoanalyst, distraught that his wife has taken a new lover.”

>Scarecrow & Other Anomalies by Oliverio Girondo

"The first appearance in English of one of the most fantastic writers of Latin America, who was also something of a prankster." "This is a book that takes scenes, metaphysical interminglings, and a love for linguistic play that borders on dangerous ("I don't have a personality; I am a cocktail, a conglomerate, a riot of personalities"). But the pieces also display a sort of slapstick bravado, a fondness for absurd situations, even as they recognize at every turn the grinning specter of death and emptiness peeking from the shadows."

and another Junger to go with OP's! Can't find a good summary of this one though.

>Aladdin's Problem by Ernst Junger

"Junger presents a caustic look at the intersections of death, existential longing and capitalism in this short, allegorical novel." from a review: "ALADDIN'S PROBLEM is a slim volume, exceptionally terse, cryptic and understated even by Junger's standards. It begins with brief meditations on growing old and flowers almost imperceptibly into the story of a funeral assistant who, troubled by the emptiness of modern life and the power of the forces above us ("Aladdin's problem"), conceives one of the most fantastic ideas for permanence in human history."

>My Tired Father by Gellu Naum

"First published in Romania in 1972, My Tired Father is an autobiographical collage, an assisted cut-up. In words and diction lifted from old books and popular magazines, Naum demonstrates that desire is a constructive principle—and that the spirit of Surrealism is not reducible to a period style or rhetoric."

>Imaginary Lives by Marcel Schwob

"Marcel Schwob (1867–1905) was one of the key symbolist writers, standing in French literature alongside such names as Stephane Mallarme, Octave Mirbeau, Andre Gide, Leon Bloy, Jules Renard, Remy de Gourmont, and Alfred Jarry. His best-known works are Double Heart (1891), The King In The Gold Mask (1892), and Imaginary Lives (1896). Imaginary Lives contains twenty-two mythopoeic literary portraits of figures from ancient history, art history, and the history of crime and punishment. From demi-gods, sorcerers, incendiaries, wantons and philosophers of the ancient world, to the "poet of hate" Cecco Angiolieri and the painter Paolo Uccello, through to the pirates William Kidd and Major Stede-Bonnet, and finally Burke and Hare, the serial killers; Schwob presents a vivid array of characters who display all that is macabre, deviant and magnificently terrifying in human beings and in life. In Imaginary Lives, Schwob has created a "secret" masterpiece that joins other biographical glossaries such as Jorge Luis Borges’ A Universal History Of Infamy and Alfonso Reyes' Real And Imagined Portraits in the pantheon of classic speculative fiction, of which Schwob’s book is the dark progenitor. Livid with decadent imagery, Imaginary Lives resonates loudly today with its themes of temporality, myth, violence and sexuality, and stands as a major work of the fin-de-siecle."

and for general shares:

>The Melancholy of Resistance by Lazslo Krasznahorkai

"A powerful, surreal novel, in the tradition of Gogol, about the chaotic events surrounding the arrival of a circus in a small Hungarian town. The Melancholy of Resistance, László Krasznahorkai's magisterial, surreal novel, depicts a chain of mysterious events in a small Hungarian town. A circus, promising to display the stuffed body of the largest whale in the world, arrives in the dead of winter, prompting bizarre rumors. Word spreads that the circus folk have a sinister purpose in mind, and the frightened citizens cling to any manifestation of order they can find music, cosmology, fascism. The novel's characters are unforgettable: the evil Mrs. Eszter, plotting her takeover of the town; her weakling husband; and Valuska, our hapless hero with his head in the clouds, who is the tender center of the book, the only pure and noble soul to be found. Compact, powerful and intense, The Melancholy of Resistance, as its enormously gifted translator George Szirtes puts it, "is a slow lava flow of narrative, a vast black river of type." And yet, miraculously, the novel, in the words of The Guardian, "lifts the reader along in lunar leaps and bounds.""

>Journey into the Past by Stefan Zweig

"A deep study of the uneasy heart by one of the masters of the psychological novel, Journey into the Past, published here for the first time in America, is a novella that was found among Zweig’s papers after his death. Investigating the strange ways in which love, in spite of everything—time, war, betrayal—can last, Zweig tells the story of Ludwig, an ambitious young man from a modest background who falls in love with the wife of his rich employer. His love is returned, and the couple vow to live together, but then Ludwig is dispatched on business to Mexico, and while he is there the First World War breaks out. With travel and even communication across the Atlantic shut down, Ludwig makes a new life in the New World. Years later, however, he returns to Germany to find his beloved a widow and their mutual attraction as strong as ever. But is it possible for love to survive precisely as the impossible?"

This is just the rest of the stories in the collection - "The Holy Man of Mt. Koya" was already freely available online. summary taken from a review on Amazon.

>Japanese Gothic Tales by Kyoka Izumi

""Japanese Gothic Tales" might be a slightly misleading title for this collection of four of Izumi Kyoka's short stories. While they are gothic in the sense of being somewhat in the style of gothic literature, they are not really gothic in the modern sense of the word. In other words, this is not a straight forward collection of horror stories. Kyoka may very well be Japan's Edgar Allen Poe, as has been maintained before, but if so it is because of his effective use of atmosphere and the short story, rather than his themes. Instead of horror, it is a sampling of Kyoka's unique and somewhat complicated style of storytelling. His use of layers and misdirection, of drifting back and forth in time and story without offering life-lines to the readers creates an atmosphere of disquiet far more than any ghosts of monsters. Kyoka is particularly difficult to read even for native Japanese speakers, and he is incredibly difficult to translate.

"The Surgery Room" offers a traditional Japanese tale of impossible love and the consequences it leads to. More than anything, it reminds me of one of Road Dahl's adult short stories. Sharp and cutting like a scalpel. "One Day in Spring" is a complicated tangle, drifting back and forth between characters, stories and life-times. It revisits the familiar thread of love outside your caste, and the only possible solution. A very sad story, with subtle Buddhist undertones. It is the longest story in the book. "Osen and Soichi" is a tale of maternal infatuation that is often found in Japanese literature. The character of the prostitute/surrogate mother who suffers for her charge."

and last one from me for now, I think:

>The Wooden Throne by Carlo Sgorlon

""THE WOODEN THRONE" tells the story of a young man’s choice between the worlds of creative imagination and physical experience. Growing up in Friuli early in this century, Giuliano leaves his native village in pursuit of his beautiful young mistress and of his own past. So begins a series of adventures in which the mountain landscapes, the tiny village he finds, and the people he meets belong to a strange world of fable. As Giuliano slowly unravels the identity of his new lover, her myth-weaving grandfather, and their mysterious community, the reader senses them all as remote and archaic, nowhere and everywhere, evanescent and eternal at the same time."

>Seasons of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih

"After years of study in Europe, the young narrator of Season of Migration to the North returns to his village along the Nile in the Sudan. It is the 1960s, and he is eager to make a contribution to the new postcolonial life of his country. Back home, he discovers a stranger among the familiar faces of childhood—the enigmatic Mustafa Sa’eed. Mustafa takes the young man into his confidence, telling him the story of his own years in London, of his brilliant career as an economist, and of the series of fraught and deadly relationships with European women that led to a terrible public reckoning and his return to his native land.

But what is the meaning of Mustafa’s shocking confession? Mustafa disappears without explanation, leaving the young man—whom he has asked to look after his wife—in an unsettled and violent no-man’s-land between Europe and Africa, tradition and innovation, holiness and defilement, and man and woman, from which no one will escape unaltered or unharmed."
