Literary Fiction 217 authors

Literary fiction authors and their complete works in order. Discover prize-winning and critically acclaimed writers of serious fiction.

Literary fiction resists easy definition — it's less a genre than a set of ambitions: depth of character, precision of prose, and a willingness to let the story be about something larger than its plot. We track 217 literary fiction authors here, with complete works in publication order. Prize winners, cult favourites, and writers who belong in both categories.

Tracking 217 authors and 1516 series in Literary Fiction.
