I’ve been reading a lot of non-fiction and theory recently and was looking for a break.
I’ve read a lot of Ursula K. le Guin but don’t really know any other leftist fiction writers so any recommendations are welcome.

I've heard the Illuminatus! trilogy is at least vaguely left and have a physical copy next to my bed that I keep meaning to read as a way to get back into fiction reading.
I gave up about halfway through because the story was so incoherent. Maybe I'm just dumb but it felt like dream logic.
Thats part of the reason I'm actually interested in it, funny enough.
If you like that sort of thing, check out Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town by Cory Doctorow. The main character's father is a mountain and his mother is a washing machine, and his brothers fit together like matryoshka dolls. It makes no goddamn sense and reminds me of the stuff I was forced to read and "analyze" for deeper meaning in high school english class. Doctorow is reading the whole thing on his podcast right now.
