Hi all! I’m looking for interesting accounts that talk sometimes about #LiteraryCriticism, or maybe other #literature and #CriticalTheory-based accounts. I’ve tried searching for authors I like, but haven’t had a huge amount of luck beyond finding posts. I’m especially looking for #SciFi criticism, but am curious about a lot of other genres too. Some other things I like are #DFW, #MarkFisher, #PKD, #BeckyChambers, #Solarpunk, #Cyberpunk, #Existentialism, #ArabLit, #Metamodernism. TY!

Hello everyone! 👋👋👋

I've just joined the Fediverse, and I chose @zirk.us bc I'm most interested in #literature and the arts more broadly. I also created a #reading account via #Bookwyrm @d-integration, and a Fediverse-supported #blog (launching today) for my writings at @weaver@d-integration.org.

I'm most interested in #SpeculativeFiction, especially #SciFi and the #Weird, #ArabLit, #SocialCritique, #CriticalTheory, #Philosophy, and all things #Surreal and/or #reality breaking.

#Introduction

And for and #edwardabbey fans, i would suggest Raja Shehadeh's Palestinian Walks. Maybe he's the #Palestinian Edward Abbey. With the added context of life under #occupation.

Just finished Etaf Rum's A Woman Is No Man. An unexpected, sad, generational story of resilience. Not that i didn't know women or Palestinians were resilient, but it begins in a certain patriarchal way but spreads out hopefully as we get to know our characters.

And i love an author's essay at the end talking about their life, what inspired them, what is autobiographical about their fiction, which this one has.

Hi everyone, migrating from the other place to keep up with all things #ArabLit #MENALiterature from a little corner of NW UK. I struggle with #Arabic as often as possible. There may be more than occasional interventions by my two #Labradors Moxy & Ruby
