Help! Floating Genreless!
"I forgot my mantra." ... Does everyone know this 1976 Jeff Goldblum confession in Woody Allen's "Annie Hall"?
I feel like I'm in the same boat, and maybe readers can help me out. What is my genre? I've published my first two books this year, "The Cuckoo Colloquium" and "Moondogg." Both share elements of comic fantasy, absurdist fiction, and black comedy. But, still, that doesn't feel right, and if I search the rules for participation in these three, rather distinct, literary genres, my writing doesn't quite fit.
Visionary/metaphysical? Okay, maybe. But that doesn't encompass the humor part, which predominates in these two books (as well as in my third book, coming out later this spring).
Help, reader(s)! Can anyone tell this author where his work—genre-wise— belongs?
