Lyric of the Circle Heart: The Bowman Family Trilogy
William Eastlake@ddillingworth @Dalkey_Archive 3 fine novels I've not seen mentioned yet: NOVEMBER by Christopher Woodall, LYRIC OF THE CIRCLE HEART by William Eastlake & THE PLANETARIUM by Nathalie Sarraute

The Lime Twig
John Hawkes@wastemailing Early John Hawkes qualifies, I think. THE BEETLE LEG and THE LIME TWIG. Also, Nathalie Sarraute... although she's arguably pursuing a kind of hyper-realism. I might start with DO YOU HEAR THEM? or THE PLANETARIUM.
