The text examines some social and labourist fiction books released between 2006 and 2022, from the historical novel to autobiographical writing together with a collective writing workshop. The analysis traces the characterizing and salient themes trying to understand what type of work is described in these books, what is the spirit of the time they express and the characteristic recurring themes. What emerges is a vision of labour that strongly claims the historicity and existence of the working classes, in a society where their presence and their imagination is mostly denied, marked by the themes of fatigue, fragmentation, which struggles to find an expression in a positive sense for work in the 21st century, without renouncing the search for it.
