    Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann. It's an amazing novel. Unfortunately it tends to filter fickle reactionary adolescent IQfyizens. But one day you'll see the light. If you aren't man enough to brave Ellmann, then in second place comes Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels.

      Convenience store woman by Sayaka Murata is a quite funny novelette.

      Elena Ferrante is most likely a man or a straight couple.

        I felt this book never developed beyond its basic premise. It was cute but I was a bit disappointed.

        I don’t think Convenience store Woman is funny, I don’t know how people find it zany and hilarious, it’s basically No Longer Human absorbed into capitalism.
        Seriously read it and Dazai side by side. It’s a cry for help that everyone mistakes for kooky Japanese fluff.

          and no, I don’t care what the author says about it. They are notoriously inept at speaking their minds.

    My vote would be Speedboat.

      Is Adler still alive? I also didn't feel Speedboat deserved the acclaim it was getting in the mid 2010s. Still an enjoyable read though.

        Yeah, she is still kicking. Why was it getting acclaim in the 2010s, is that when the NYRB edition came out? Speedboat kind of redefined the non-linear/fractured narrative and did it with wonderful style, few authors have taken it too the extent she has and even fewer have used it so effectively.

    Connie Willis is a comedic romance sci-fi/medievalist chad. "To Say Nothing of the Dog" is cute and laugh out loud funny. It's based off of "Three Men in a Boat", similar humor but with a romance thrown in

        She's won eleven Hugo awards and seven Nebula awards. Even considering the affirmative action boost it's pretty impressive
