I'm going to have a hard job explaining this. But anyway… I've read and enjoyed a lot of modern novels recently ( life of pi, the sympathizer, thousand suns, oscar wao, many others) however they all have a similar voice : a whimsical but unreliable take on extraordinary and historical events told by a young bookworm. I don't dislike that voice at all however I do need a palate-cleanser as it all starts to get like an all-day Wes Anderson bingewatch! Could you recommend good recent novels that do NOT have that perspective/aesthetic please?
