One is my perennial favourite The Fat Woman Next Door is Pregnant. This one is technically available, but I believe only in Canada, with a wretched cover. It should really be reissued by NYRB, in my humble opinion!
The other is a Catalan novel called Natural History, which is a sort of adventure/vampire novel, but also historical, philosophical, so weird, and so good. It also desperately needs a new cover and a new twist to market it.
I recommend these books so often and few people ever read them, and I'm sure it's all about the packaging/low availability.
