Fiction is the deception that allows us to communicate the truth. A serious case of cognitive disassociation would result from such interference in the modern world. The weight of such duty is rarely considered in a culture that is so focused on the individual. When you take ourselves so seriously, it's difficult to be ludicrous. However, this may point to fiction's greatest helpful function in the modern world: the revival of the debating craft.
Therefore, the following is a list of some fiction books that will be published in the first month of 2023:
1. The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff
In this razor-sharp debut, a young Indian lady discovers the false allegations that she killed her husband to be unexpectedly helpful—until other women in the community start approaching her for assistance getting rid of their own spouses. With intelligence, humor, and a particular kind of magical irreverence, Shroff brilliantly conveys the intricacy of female friendship. The Bandit Queens is heartfelt, surprising, and full of giggle-inducing moments. Readers won't soon forget Parini Shroff's razor-sharp debut of comedy and heart, The Bandit Queens, which is full with crafty crooks, second chances, and sarcastic and smart women. This book is anticipated to be released by Ballantine Books on January 3rd, 2023.
2. Small World by Laura Zigman
