I'd try those - it's hard to find something nobody reacts to. Sometimes it's the other ingredients setting people off (e.g. xantham gum). If you want to go for something else, there are Glutino brand GF pretzels in a lot of shops. This is such a thoughtful thing to do!

I loved Hawad's book, "In The Net" and that theme is strong throughout.

Very different, mostly historical English novel, but then there is a pact with Satan and a coven of witches.

The Man With Six Senses was interesting, but as 1920's aspec SFF fiction goes, I can now say that I preferred Lolly Willowes. Still glad I read it!

Author from Greenland, not sure that's she's Inuit though.

Last Night in Nuuk by Niviaq Korneliussen!

Anyone who is not a cis male and has a complicated or undiagnosed medical issue must, instead, have anxiety or depression. Takes dedication for a Dr. to stick to that with concrete labs to point to, though.

Apologies if I mixed up any flags and sent you info for places you already have!

Loved her "Silence of the Wilting Skin" but haven't gotten to this one yet!

Another anthology: "New Worlds, Old Ways: Speculative Tales from the Caribbean" has short stories from Trinidad, Barbados, Bermuda. The editor, Karen Lord (Barbados) has several SFF novels as well.

If you are OK with folktales, the play "Death of a Muruk" by Bernard Narokobi works for Papua New Guinea, the children's book "Tales From the Sandalwood Box" for Tajikistan. Both out of print.

Turkmenistan - more lit-fic than SFFH but there is a ghost. "Tale of Aypi" by Ak Welsapar.

Nalo Hopkinson edited "Whispers from the Cotton Tree Root: Caribbean Fabulist Fiction" - includes work from Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago. Out of print, sadly.

Good luck! Maybe re-read the application tomorrow before hitting submit?

This sounds fascinating! Will check out Jaeger's work!

Solo Dance is excellent! I read it for Taiwan in my read-around-the-world challenge.

I tend toward Bookshop for new books, Thriftbooks for used/hard-to-find.

You may have read these, but something about "weird literary queer European books" makes me think of you & I really liked "Call Me Esteban" - lit-fic queer novella/linked short stories in pre+post-war Sarajevo & "Our Wives Under The Sea" - creepy and atmospheric.
