2026 Book Squad Goal: Read a Fabulist Fiction
"The use of fantastical elements to explore personal, human themes. Fabulist fiction tends to privilege internal and interpersonal conflict over large-scale, action-heavy plots; its elements of unreality follow a kind of magical thinking. When something strange occurs, the story is less interested in why it’s happening—its origin or mechanism—than in what it means, in a symbolic or emotional logic. Fabulism at its best is strange, lovely, and heartfelt, braiding the personal with the fantastical, the impossible with the familiar." ~ Kathryn Harlan in Publishers Weekly
