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

Holy shit this dude wrote. Where do you even start with him?

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.
