Transgressive

[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] Discussion about Scottish writer Irvine Welsh- his books, movie projects and impeccable music taste.

[close] Dog Horn Publishing is dedicated to publishing the best in cutting edge literature. We publish bold voices and writing that takes risks. We are less concerned by genre than we are by defying convention, taking readers someplace new, and challenging the limits of what writing is and does. From the outset we have been dedicated to nurturing writers not books, while remaining both independent and brave. Dog Horn authors are collaborators and friends. We work with them, and they with us, to ensure the best outcome for any project. Our books are striking, both visually and in terms of content, and we welcome the daring, the absurd, the mischievous and the dangerous. We are committed to developing writers and promoting literature. We speak our minds and aren’t afraid to say so.

[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.
