Literary fiction suggestions please? As a baseline for suggestions, I like David Foster Wallace’s writing a lot but haven’t actually read Infinite Jest yet.
And no, I suspect that most of the posters here don’t read literary fiction, though they probably would if we did it in book club form. I’m game.
Try the stuff that you read in high school, but with adult sensibilities. Gatsby and Herman Hesse (not the Glass Bead Game) in particular, or more generally things with mundane settings from the perspective of the author. Joyce, comedy such as John Kennedy Toole or Dickens, probably not Nabokov.
