#MSWL 1. Literary Fiction—I can't get enough of it. I wanna see the weird stuff, the sad stuff, the f'd up stuff. I want to be blown away by your sentences. I want novels that are having a conversation about the (many) issues we're facing today.

In literary fiction, I’m interested in messy people making tough choices, campus novels, unlikeable narrators (especially women who either gaslight, girlboss, or gatekeep) who may or may not win you over, and atmospheric writing styles.

Some recent examples from my list? Here are some by @AlisonStine @mikechenwriter @mk_england and @JamesTateHill.
