What is the Best Little Known Novel You Ever Read?
-
For me it would be Mark Helprin's A Soldier of the Great War.
A description from Amazon: "On his last long walk, septuagenarian war hero, deserter, and professor Alessandro Giuliani shares his past with an illiterate young factory worker, spinning a remarkable tale of heart-stopping escapes, of loves unrequited and won, of madmen, dwarfs, and mafiosi. But overshadowing all is his most miraculous and terrible adventure, the Great War: a surreal parade of horrors that devastated and defined Alessandro, yet enabled him to experience fully the magic and beauty of the absurd human comedy called life."

Howard Sternâs last book. It is excerpts from his years of interviewsÂ
It has a lot of stuff with Trump in it. Back when Trump was actually being truthful. Very interesting the points of views he had back then.Â

Come on, man, it was a spring, not a pond.
How about my funny medieval story I haven't posted in a long time?
I was going to say...
the real adventure novel I wrote.
Haven't tried to get it published yet. I think it needs some work.

Got another to add to this because it is so accurate with the real history of Comancheria in Texas following the Civil War. But it's a novel whose two protagonists are a Comanche Indian and a Buffalo Soldier (black ex-slave) of the 10th Cavalry all-black enlisted with white officers. The name of it is The Wolf and the Buffalo by Elmer Kelton, TCU Press 1980 and 1986. Naturally enough they are on either side of the fight by the US Army to rein in the Comanches to reservations in Oklahoma from their final days living free around the southern buffalo herd of the Texas Panhandle & western Oklahoma down to San Angelo. It is thoroughly engrossing with excellent character development throughout. It is used in college classes on the history of the American west.
