View submission: Weekly FAQ Thread February 23, 2025: Which contemporary novels do you think deserve to become classics?

I'm on the hunt for timeless masterpieces that haven't yet received the spotlight they deserve, especially those written by **non-English authors**.

What are some underrated classics that you believe should have a bigger presence in our literary conversations? I'm open to all suggestions; whether they're hidden gems in translation or overlooked works from various cultures.

Kentukis by Samanta Schweblin is amazing. On the surface it looks like a fun little thing, but there's a lot of depth to it. Her writing on Distancia de rescate is amazing.
