The OP says conflict in fiction, not external conflict in successful & popular novels in the last 15 years. I just reread the story, The Students Wife, by Raymond Carver, and it’s all internal conflict. There are probably a gazillion more examples. I'm not making any claims about conflict in successful & popular novels.

That was a short story though (in a collection of 21 stories), wasn't it? Translating that to a successful novel is a whole different kettle of fish.Originally Posted by JosephB
