Transgressive

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] Hi this is a trial group just to see if there are any willing local participants for a book club. The group will exist in cyberspace initially but could progress to a meeting group if anyone joins aside from myself! I have my interests which are modern fiction, trangressive fiction, scandanavian thrillers. In addition non-fiction subjects such as politics (left wing), philosophy, psychology, sociology. The subjects above are by no means restrictive and i'm more than open for others suggestions for a monthly book recommendation for the group. No preciousness here, all welcome, please feel free to join.

[close] A book group celebrating authors that break the boundaries of fiction... "Transgressive fiction is a genre of literature that focuses on characters who feel confined by the norms and expectations of society and who break free of those confines in unusual or illicit ways..." My interpretation of this description focusses on "unusual or illicit ways" of breaking rules. For example - when it comes to crime fiction we'll focus on books in which the criminal is the MC or holds the POV rather than the detective. I'll be featuring a new book each month for us to read, and there will be plenty of questions to ask and answer as we discover new shocking books together! Please be aware that you will need to be 18+ to join this group, due to the very graphic content that we will be discussing.

[close] Springing out of the philosophies of Camus and Kierkegaard, this group embraces the stories and novels where the absurd is played out before us. We see characters looking for a comforting meaning in a world where there is none...
