Recent/Current Trend
Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone can help with a question I’m not quite sure how to phrase:
Ive noticed reading some critically acclaimed books recently that there is a style that seems to be en vogue for award juries and things. The style is of novels being written as sort of small vignettes rather than a more ‘conventional’ story where we follow a plot or character more or less from the start of a story to the end. The books I have read recently where I have noticed this are Orbital by Samantha Harvey, Under the Eye of the Big Bird, and Flights by Olga Tokarczuk.
Is there a name for this style of novel? And do people who follow publishing etc. feel that this is a “trend” or style that’s popular lately? Or is it just coincidence that in the last few months I’ve picked a few books with structural similarities?
Thanks!
