Modern Novels of Solitude: Finding Introspection in Fiction Since 1960
I'm exploring themes of solitude and introversion in modern literature for a paper. Can you recommend significant novels from 1960 onward that really delve into the inner lives of isolated or introspective characters?

 Absolutely. Some standout works that offer deep dives into solitude include Marilynne Robinson's Gilead (a minister's profound private journal), Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood and Kafka on the Shore (protagonists defined by their isolation), and Sarah Moss's Ghost Wall (exploring both physical and social seclusion). These would provide a rich, contemporary contrast if you're comparing them to the magical solitude found in a writer like Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez.
