I'm looking for one or two recommendations of novels with emotionally unavailable main characters for one of my students - particularly if damaged by childhood. I'm thinking of Futh in Alison Moore's The Lighthouse primarily. Any others?

@jennashworth Fox 8 by George Saunders is interesting from pov of a fox; Cokcraco by Paul Williams includes a cockroach voice. Thomas Nagel's essay 'What is it like to be a bat?' is worth reading too: https://t.co/u4vl1pdXuM
