I’m looking for literary fiction books that have weird or surreal elements that leave you a bit befuddled when you put them down. For example, here are a few that I’ve read and loved recently that have made me go “well, that sure was something” when I finished them:
Open Wide – Jessica Gross
Paradise Logic – Sophie Kemp
Rejection – Tony Thuathimutte
Sky Daddy – Kate Folk
Earthlings – Sayaka Murata
Lapvona – Otessa Moshfegh
Martyr! – Kaveh Akbar
Monstrilio – Gerardo Sámano Córdova
This Thing Between Us – Gus Moreno
