Lionel Shriver writes contemporary literary fiction about families, responsibility and people facing uncomfortable consequences of choices that cannot be easily reversed. We Need to Talk About Kevin is told through letters from Eva Khatchadourian after her teenage son commits a school massacre, repeatedly questioning motherhood, blame and how much of Kevin's behaviour could ever have been predicted. The Mandibles imagines an American family dealing with economic collapse, while Big Brother centres on weight, family obligation and one sibling's attempt to intervene in another's life. Shriver's novels are provocative, idea-led and psychologically direct, fitting contemporary literary fiction, family drama and social-issue novels built around difficult moral questions.
