Recommend a good novel

I'm looking for a novel that doesn't have postmodern nonsense like when you're reading a book and suddenly you're reading about unrelated AIDS statistics among Black folks in 1980s NYC or about niche shoemaking techniques in medieval England. I want a novel with no quirky vignettes, or random encyclopedic digressions that have nothing to do with anything. I want a clear flowing river of pure literary gold. Is there anything in your mind that gets close to this description?

      Nothing can be proven. All works are fiction.

    That's not postmodernism, you dumbass. But fine, read The Magic Mountain or Marinkovic's Cyclops.
