I haven't heard much mentioned of Fiction in the Library, and apart from a handful of books, I don't know many Fictitious stories of socialist myself.

What Books do you know of/ have read?

What do you recommend?

George Orwell's collection of books
(1984, Animal farm, Homage to catalonia, etc.)

"The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists"- Robert Tressell (highly recommend)

"Der Kaukasische Kreidekreis"-Bertolt Brecht

"SuperMan: Red Son"-DC Comics (lol, good read though)

My whole list.

I have yet to read any, but from what I've heard Ursula Le Guin wrote some good books.

Other than that the two that I can think of right now are Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and Kafka's 'The Trial'. Not sure how accurate it would be to call them 'socialist' though.
