Thank you for your interest in the Literary Fiction newsletter. Our free weekly newsletter gives you access to new book reviews, recommended-reading lists, profiles of authors and their fictional characters, musings on movie adaptations, links to the best literature sites, and more. Plenty of new, enjoyable, informative reading is coming your way soon. Here’s a preview of what’s included:

Latest articles on the site
Some articles will explore contemporary issues, such as the Booker Prize shortlist of the year; others will focus on enduring, timeless topics. Discover or learn more about narrative technique, the Romantic period, Shakespeare’s sonnets. New articles on books in translation will be added to the recently created subject of World Literature.

Books on my night stand
I read for information, I read for a living, I read idly in the waiting room at the doctor’s. But the books on my bedside table I read for pleasure, and I look forward to sharing my thoughts on them with you.

Topics for discussion
What’s your favorite book? Who is classic fiction’s vilest villain? Which movies did justice to their literary origins? Discuss and debate topics like these in our Literary Fiction forum. The forum is a community of readers who share recommendations, answer questions, and engage in thought-provoking conversation. The forum link can be found at the top of each page on the site.
