Literary Criticism

[close] This is a closed group for professionals in the Mental Health field (psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, etc.) who write self help books and want help from other professionals willing to read and offer constructive literary criticism along the path to publishing.

[close] This group is about recommending and discussing books about books and reading. They might be memoirs by writers who are reflecting on their career. They might be works of literary criticism. They might be novels with characters who are writers, or which are set in publishing worlds. Perhaps they are good "how to" books on writing. But it is for books that reflect on writing, literature and the book world in some way.

[close] We read literary fiction from 2000 to present, with the intent of finding those literary gems of timeless and enduring quality. We're less focused on the latest bestsellers, or discussing books already well-represented in other groups. Our passion is to explore works, from around the world, which stand a chance of being remembered fifty years from now. In addition to seeking out books with literary merit, we also encourage lively and thought-provoking discussions. All are welcome to join 21CL, whether you're already a fan of literary fiction, or just starting to explore.

[close] A book club that discusses quality fiction and nonfiction books.
