2024 is shaping up to be a solid year for literary fiction releases. I had the pleasure of reading James recently, which is probably the biggest literary fiction release so far this year and it’s a book I whole-heartedly recommend.
This list of the best New and Anticipated 2024 Literary Fiction Books is based on early reviews and buzz, and of course what I’ve read. I’ll be updating this list as new titles are released or announced, as I read more of these books, etc. — so check back later for more!
Will you be reading any of these titles? Feel free to leave your comments below!
Interesting to see so many popular established names on this list. I’ve read many of them, but more drawn to the one I haven’t read yet Percival Everest and so I have ordered James although I’d like to try some of his other works. I do enjoy a good Elisabeth Strout so could be tempted by her new one and will certainly be interested to read reviews of some of the other familiar names here.
I read mostly translated fiction and Irish literature, so I’m looking forward to reading Sinead Gleeson’s debut novel Hagstone (her nonfiction essays were excellent) and more fiction by Natalia Ginzburg (Italy).
