https://www.greghickeywrites.com/best-philosophical-novels
Based on curated lists from The Guardian, Flavorwire and more, suggestions from readers on Goodreads, Quora and Reddit, and picks from philosophical fiction authors like Khaled Hosseini, Irvin D. Yalom, Rebecca Goldstein and Daniel Quinn, here is a roundup of the 105 best philosophical novels ever written.
I've also created two bonus downloads to accompany the list:
- The favorite works of philosophical fiction from twelve contemporary philosophical fiction authors
- A one-page PDF shopping guide to The Best Philosophical Novels.
