Hello everyone!

I am compiling a literary fiction list for my library. I think I have
the basic authors down but I would like to include some writers who
aren't as "mainstream", or perhaps as well-known. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

My thanks in advance.

Dear Deborah

I would pick the following authors as literary-but-not-quite-mainstream :
Vikram Seth, Paul Gallico, Nevil Shute, Daphne Du Maurier, Graham Greene, Eric
Knight (plenty more, depending on how far you are willing to stretch the
definition)

Regards
Anjan Ray

Have you seen the new book by Nancy Pearl _Now Read This: A Guide to
Mainstream Fiction_? I think it is a really useful readers' advisory
tool and would really help with your list. As far as I know this "genre"
hasn't had its own guide before this.

Happy reading,
