Literary Fiction Books

Literary fiction prioritizes language, structure, and psychological depth over plot mechanics. These are novels where sentences do real work, themes run beneath the surface, and ambiguity is a feature rather than a flaw. The genre includes everything from minimalist realism to maximalist postmodern experimentation.
