Urban

[close] This group focuses on novels that have a theme known as U&S literature (U&S Lit). No matter your age, race and gender we welcome you to our group. U&S literature is a literary genre set, as the name implies, in a city landscape; however, the genre is as much defined by the socio-economic realities and culture of its characters as the urban setting. The tone for U&S Lit are usually dark, focusing on the underside of city living. Profanity, sex, and violence are usually explicit, with the writer not shying away from or watering-down the material. In this respect, U&S fiction shares some common threads with dystopian or survivalist fiction.
