Surrealism

[close] A place to post images of art you have made. You can also post art books you have made. Amazon self publishing allows you to create a print on demand 35 page art picture book with full color 7.5 inch x 9.5 inch pictures with a cost of around $5. Message for adding new folders either for type or your name or brand.

[close] NOTE: This group is intermittently active, but you are welcome to revive past discussions if you're currently reading any of those books. We read challenging novels that depart from the standard forms of narrative fiction. We explore various types of fiction including stream-of-consciousness, surrealism, nouveau roman, antinovel, post-modern, metafiction, oulipo, and other formal experiments that bend the “rules” of story-telling. Reading schedules are not the priority here. Instead, the quality of the discussions takes precedence. We’re more interested in your thoughts than your reading speed.

[close] Bizarro fiction is a contemporary literary genre, which often uses elements of absurdism, satire, and the grotesque, along with pop-surrealism and genre fiction staples, in order to create subversive, weird, and entertaining works. Part of a countercultural alignment, we read the stuff in part because it's different in unexpected ways. Come join us if not being a part of anything is your thing too. That way we can all non-conform together.

[close] This book club is dedicated to people who enjoy surreal and post-modern fiction and would like to explore and read a new title monthly or bi-monthly. When membership gets in the 10-15 range we will start officially choosing/voting on books. Until then, I am going to choose a title and talk to myself. So spare me the trip to Brylin and join.
