Hi! I’m looking for some good book recommendations! I’m looking for something like Beautiful World, Where are You by Sally Rooney. It’s about 4 friends and they all date each other at different times. However, she injects a bit of political theory in to the story, about how conservative isn’t sustainable because nothing can be conserved. It was a really good part of the book, I though. Any books where they inject political theory like that? Also, political fiction is welcome. I enjoyed reading these books:
It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis Plot Against America by Philip Roth 1984 by George Orwell Brave New World by Aldous Huxley It Happened Here by Richard Dresser
Thank you!
I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?
I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.
Some that come to mind:
I absolutely recommend Beautiful World.
