Juan Jose Saer (2009) The Witness

A 15-year-old cabin boy, en route from Spain to the New World in the 16th century, is the sole survivor of a raid in a remote part of the world. He lives with his Indian captors for a decade and witnesses their annual cannibalistic festivals.

Isaac Bashevis Singer (1991) Scum.

Nobel Price winner Singer evokes a lost world: the Yiddish culture of Warsaw in 1906. Max Barabander, a Polish Jew, forsakes his adopted home of Argentina and returns to Poland, ostensibly to visit the graves of his parents. Instead, he gets involved with the criminal underworld. He engages in deceitful liaisons and shoots one of the women.
