What juantra do these authors fall under?

I am writing a posting for a book club and I am trying to summarize they type of books we would be reading. There would be mondern authors, and classic authors of fiction. However it would not be horror, or sifi, or detective type reading. Here is a list of a few authors.





Albert Camus, Hermann Hesse, Tolstoy, Bryce Courtenay, Dostoevsky, Duman, Chuck Palahniuk, Hawthorn, Poe, Capote, TS Eliot, Virginia Wolfe, Scott Fitzgeralt, Steinbeck..ect...

What juantra do these authors fall under?
Maybe popular classic and modern literature authors??


Just make up something like...my favorite fiction classics.


If people are interested in those books, then the name is immaterial, something just to draw attention to the group. So just use something that gives the group jazz, like "The best fiction authors of 19th and 20th Century." What's your theme? What are you reading through these books for? Find a common thread and try to ask your readers to look for that..."Like how does the author draw you into the characters?" That's what makes a good reading group, not the name.
Reply:Do you mean GENRE? Well, I haven't read all those authors, but I'd say "from classic authors like Poe, to more modern authors like Steinbeck."
Reply:Call it Post-enlightenment Western Literature.





Camus and Hesse- Philosophy





Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky- Russian novelists





Poe- Horror/mystery (horror is a bit over the top, but he was shocking)





Fitzgerald, Steinbeck- 20th C Americana





TS Elliot- Poetry
Reply:Early English and Brit Literature... Poetry....
Reply:I would call it literary fiction, I dont know if that is an actual catagory but you could make your own. Also its genre I misspell and mix up words all the time too:-D
Reply:Do you mean genre?





Poe would be considered mystery usually - at least the Edgar Alan Poe award goes to the best mystery writer....





Capote would be true crime - at least his most famous book.





Sometimes it differs by book.....





If you plan to stick to fiction, then that leaves out memoirs and the Capote book mentioned above. They aren't all Americans, so you can't do it by country......





I would call it Fiction through the ages.....or Fiction of the Nineteenth %26amp; Twentieth Century.....





If you want to sound more intelligent, you can call it 'literature'.
