What Is on the Novels Shelf
The range runs from widely collected names such as Thomas Keneally, Marilyn French, Chris Bohjalian, William Goldman and Edna O'Brien to writers who are far harder to find in English: Tadeusz Konwicki, Marcel Ayme, Albert Cossery, Sergio Ramirez and Peter Hoeg. Alongside the well-known novels sit reprint-era editions, small-press first appearances and single-author collections that blur the line between the novel and the linked story cycle.
Every Listing Is One Specific Copy
Because this is a used and antiquarian catalogue rather than a new-book store, each entry describes one particular book we hold, catalogued by title and author. If you are hunting for a specific edition, searching by author surname will usually get you there faster than browsing the whole section, and our subject index page lists hundreds of narrower fiction searches.
