According to the information provided, there were no novels written by European and American authors that criticized reality. However, I recommend a few modern urban novels that reflect the problems in real society to a certain extent or present the current situation of the workplace in different fields from a critical perspective. 1. "America: I am the Big Bull of Wall Street"-It described the inside story and problems of the American stock market in the 1980s. Through the perspective of the protagonist, Hao Kun, it revealed the business routine and the compromise of the bottom class at that time. 2. "Super Easy Life"-With Hong Kong society as the background, it described the social problems and the status quo of faith at that time from the perspective of a person's growth and career development. 3. "I Have a Gourmet House"-Through the story of an ordinary person opening a restaurant, it reflects the gradual changes and disintegration of the consumption structure and kitchen culture of modern Chinese urban residents. Although the authors of these novels were not European or American writers, they all described the problems in real society from a critical perspective to a certain extent, which was worth reading. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
