As promised, here you have other ten titles that made their way in the 20.th century novel universe. And how they did it!
As I also said once before, this is no longer a ranking; it's a list I've been establishing through the years, trying to be as inclusive of all (national) literatures as possible.
You will tell me your opinion about it. I'm sure you will...
Umberto ECO, Il Nome della Rosa (Italy)
William FAULKNER, The Sound and the Fury (United States of America)
André GIDE, Les Faux-Monnayeurs (France)
Ernest HEMINGWAY, Green Hills of Africa (United States of America)
Hermann HESSE, Das Glasperlenspiel (Switzerland)
Aldous HUXLEY, Brave New World (United Kingdom)
Milan KUNDERA, L'Insoutenable Légèreté de l'Être (France/Czech Republic)
D. H. LAWRENCE, Women in Love (United Kingdom)
Siegfried LENZ, Die Deutschstunde (Germany)
Curzio MALAPARTE, La Pelle (Italy)
… Who said I didn't care for any literature in English language, huh?

I'm sorry, but I don't know him either... Not even his name... I'll do my best though to reverse the situation.

Brave New World is an amazing book. I read that when I was a teenager, in summer, for my own enjoyment, not as an assignment. I should reread it now, in the context of our current times.
Indeed it is, Gumby! Aldous Huxley is fantastic. I believe I had an experience similar to yours when I read «To A God Unknown» by John Steinbeck (so forgotten these days...). I've been trying to read it again, but haven't been able up till now. Others always get in the way...
