Here's the concept: Each of us has a small cache of books we know and esteem that even other readers like us likely don't know—our discoveries, books we feel a special need to keep out of the clutches of oblivion.
The Other Side of the Mountain, by Michel Bernanos. A slow-churning, progressively gripping, surreal journey into the wilderness of the human heart whose ending stills mine with each reading.--Ron Antonucci

I suspect it's out of print but Jim Harrison's excellent poetry collection LETTERS TO YESENIN. Read this in graduate school in the '90s and loved it. Still think about it often.
I'll find it. Thanks for going all through these posts. [I was about to say, vis-a-vis this sub-project that I'd keep you posted, but then, well . . . ]
Martha Moody by Susan Stinson—a sexy literary western originally published in 1995, republished by Small Beer Press in 2020, still massively underappreciated—is at its heart a story of two women falling in love, but is also about myth-making in the American West and about a woman finding her voice and independence through writing.

Thanks, Ron. This looks like a perfect example.
I'm honored--thank YOU.

I've fun into Small Beer before, but not the original publisher, Spinsters Ink [great name].
Yay, thanks. Entered.
