What are some underrated/lesser known American writers? One of my favorite authors is Frank Norris, who while isn't completely obscure doesn't get much attention. The Octopus and McTeague are his best. Recommendations please.

I never see anybody talk about Louis Auchincloss, who I've been on a major binge of recently. Great stuff.
I'll eternally shill Peter Matthiessen, who isn't particularly obscure but who also doesn't often make it into "best of" or "must read" lists

I think "Confessions of a Jacobite" and "Diary of a Yuppie" are both excellent and quick reads.

Christopher Isherwood (Prater Violet, and others).
I realize he was born British, but later became a US citizen.
