I'm realizing that most of the literary fiction I read has been published from the late 1800s onwards to around 1980s-1990s. I haven't delved too much into top-tier lit fic released in the past 25 years or so.
I'm familiar with some of the big names obviously – 2666, The Road, the Neapolitan trilogy, authors like Knausgaard, Franzen, Saunders, Tokarzcuk etc. but I'm looking to dive a bit deeper and am looking for some suggestions for amazing literary fiction from 2000-onwards.
