I've started getting some holiday gifts for my family and I'd like to pick my dad up some left-leaning novels.

He reads a lot, and is a left-leaning boomer but also really liked Obama (ewww cringe).

For his birthday I picked him up " Three Penny Novel " by Brecht, but I realised that I don't know of any other socialist fiction authors other than Brecht (everything else he wrote were plays, so not really reading-friendly).

Any of you able to recommend me some socialist-influenced works of fiction/novels that I could pick him up?

Thanks :fidel-salute:
