This is not a LIST book however...
I started Nenä ja muut pietarilaisnovellit by Nikolai Gogol. This is short stories by Gogol and includes The Nose.
Good luck Christine. It’s not an easy read but I thought we’ll worth the effort.

The Lost Steps by Alejo Carpentier
The Novel of Ferrara by Giorgio Bassani which contains The Garden of the Finzi-Continis (a Boxall list book and #3 in the Il Romanzo di Ferrara Series). I have to read them all, in order, so I'm starting with #1 Within the Walls.
