/lit/ - Literature

Hey /lit/. Can you recommend me a recent (from about 2010 at least onwards) young adult narrated in the third person? Preferably not fantasy/sci-fi just straight up drama?
Thank you.

bakhtin on language use:
>the stylistic structure of eugene onegin is typical of all authentic novels. to a greater or lesser extent, every novel is a dialogized system made up of the images of "languages," style and consciousnesses that are concrete and inseparable from language. language in the novel not only represents, but itself serve as the object of representation. novelistic discourse is always criticizing itself.

he goes on to discuss the novel's historic development and it got me thinking, are novels reddit: the genre?

/lit/, what is the imdb of books? A website where thousands of people rate books and write reviews about them.

>is it any good, and where can I find a publisher if it is?
Will post paragraph, by paragraph, but not the full short story as a precaution.
There was one time a wizened king named Erad. This king had not gained his throne through the near endless cycle of death, birth, and coronation, as was the apparent nature of the world at this time. While Erad, may have fought a war for his right of rule, it was the glint of gold, and not of steel in his honeyed words that set the roaring tides of the huddled masses to moor him in his gilded hall. The king afore, whilst drowned under, still left afloat a stubborn flotsam. Despite what the world thought to be a cleansing tide, neither king new, nor old was unburdened a speck blood, which they both so callously flaunted, and painted on as if ‘twas, but another chore of vanity, likened to the powdering of a wig.

Last one hit the bumperino limit, /lit/izens.
