The power of narrative

I am very interested in the power of narrative and how it shapes our enculturation and our perception of the possible. One example of a novel that changed the way people perceive reality, and the possible, was Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel The Jungle.

The poly memoirs that have been coming out are great; but the ability of an author to build a story in a memoir is constrained by details of history. Details can get in the way of the greater narrative. Plus, some of the recent memoirs are a little focused on "how to".

So far, Dr. Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli is the only person I know who has published a good real contemporary poly novel with her unique Young Adult book, Love You Two. The field seems to me to be open (pun intended) for some more "good" poly novels.

A poly fiction genre?

We recently saw the great movie Carol, based on the 1952 romance novel by Patricia Highsmith, first published under the pseudonym "Claire Morgan". The Price of Salt was a mold breaker in the genres lesbian literature and gay fiction.

I know there are some great poly memoirs out like The Game Changer by Franklin Veaux and Gracie X's great book Wide Open. There is even the fantastic young adult book Love You Two by Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli.

Is there a genre of Poly Literature, or Poly Fiction? Have there been any good intentional romance books written about relationships that work that are outside the mononormative mold?

I know there are fantastic books in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy mold like Heinlen's classic Stranger in a Strange Land.

I am especially interested in contemporary adult fiction books featuring healthy and working polyamorous relationships. Any suggestions?
