Surrealism

[close] A collection of odd curiosities. Books that make you go ' ... wait what?'

[close] Discuss any fun books you have been reading lately. Or maybe books that are a little different.

[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.
