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 bought Lathe of Heaven 3 weeks ago, and Le Guin seems a very socially conscious writer.
I would recommend Catch 22 or Confederacy of Dunces, as excellent satirical takes on the farcical aspects of war or 60’s US society.
