Agree on The Last Samurai, which is extraordinary. Apparently the process of getting the book published was so aggravating that DeWitt considered suicide. It didn't become widely available until New Directions reprinted it in 2016, which means that her first novel was largely inaccessible to the public until she was almost 60.
Have you written elsewhere about the Last Samurai? I remember reading it three or four times in my 20s and thinking it was incredible, but never being able to articulate exactly why.

An awfully long time ago
Dissapointment?
No spell check, or was it intentional wordplay that went over my head?
Typo!!
