I can only recommend the truly incredible and virtually unknown John Burnside, plus Charlotte Rogan’s The Lifeboat, D.J. Taylor, Michael Cox, Dan Vyleta, all of them current literary fiction, and none related to the likes of Tom Wolfe’s contemptible literary Three Stooges, and other New Yorker favorites. I’m quite literally buried in books of excellent current literary fiction waiting to be read and there are more on the way from Amazon. It ain’t so bad. Oh, the latest Julian Barnes is perty good as well. Started reading Luke Williams.
Thanks for the list of authors. I wrote them down to take to the library.
