Hi! Looking for more books in the literary fiction world, and particularly interested in female authors. I always tell people my favourite genre is “sad weird girl does sad weird things” lol and also love a hint of speculative fiction/sci-fi
These have been some of my current favourites along those lines:
– Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino
– Severance by Ling Ma
– Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh
– Interesting Facts About Space by Emily Austin
– Penance by Eliza Clark
– Earthlings by Sayaka Murata
Outside of that genre I also love Ann Patchett, Taylor Jenkins Reid, RF Kuang, and Meg Wolitzer
Thank you 🙂

Check out Georgia Toews’ “Hey, Good Luck Out There.”
A Psalm for the Wild-Built fits most of what you’re looking for, although it definitely leans further into sci-fi than literary. Also I think maybe the main character is NB instead of a girl (iirc, I’m honestly not sure). But sad person does sad weird things and it all works out great
