The second book is Cheese by Willem Elshot, written in the 1930s. This is something much more obscure. It's by a Flemish or Belgian author.
Why people recommend it

The speaker highlighted the novel's unique qualities, presenting it as an intriguing discovery for readers interested in lesser-known international literature. Jäger's discussion of the book served to broaden the conversation beyond contemporary politics into the realm of classic European fiction that offers enduring insights through a distinct lens.
