Updated collection

Still small but I have gotten a few more titles this year (the last one was Crazy Genie by Inès Cagnati, which I was looking forward to since last year).

Any suggestions by male authors I should look into? I think I have gotten mostly women so far because those are the ones I have read and loved (Szabó is my fvaorite) but I'd like to start adding some "risky" ones (as in, I'm not sure I'll love them but would like to try anyway).

The last one I read was Mouchette by Georges Bernanos and it broke my heart but I loved it.

Favorite publishers

Do you have any? I have a few but I think the one that aligns the most with my taste is NYRB. I have never read a book published by them that I didn't like (and have read many that I loved). I guess I'm also very good at picking titles from them since I'm not interested in everything they have in their catalogue, but I have a lot of physical copies already (still missing some that I read on my kindle that I'd like to own) and a growing wishlist. Some of my favorite authors that I have read from them are Stefan Zweig, Magda Szabó, Barbara Comyns, Elizabeth Taylor, Dorothy Baker and Tove Jansson. And I have only read one by this author but My Death by Lisa Tuttle was fantastic.

Other publishers I like are New Directions, Fitzcarraldo Editions, Dorothy Project, And Other Stories, Pushkin Press (mostly for their Japanese classics and novellas), Dalkey Archive Press and I've been interested in a few Archipelago titles lately. I also read in Spanish and I love Acantilado and Impedimenta, but they are expensive and I can't find them second hand so I only get them for my birthday/Christmas, I like the ritual of picking a few of them every year.

Anyway, I'd like to discover other publishers similar to these and just see what people on here are into.
