View submission: Weekly FAQ Thread February 23, 2025: Which contemporary novels do you think deserve to become classics?

I read *Prophet Song* by Paul Lynch and I thought that, however good or bad it may be, it is probably the type of book that gets carried along with an 'era', like Koestler maybe. In literary terms it was fine, perhaps not very exciting - but it was so 'of its time', it had given itself so much over to being contemporary rather than 'literary', that it should always be culturally interesting. A lot of inter-war stuff was quite similar, read more for study than for fun.
