From my experience reading contemporary fiction, many post-1960 novels treat solitude as a condition of modern consciousness rather than mere isolation. I have seen works where introversion becomes a lens for ethical reflection and resistance to social noise. I would recommend looking at novels that privilege interior monologue and minimal action, as they often explore solitude with depth rather than romanticization.
