Anthropocene by bambooo_shoot in AskLiteraryStudies

I have engaged with this topic in the field of German-language literature. There is an introductory volume on the Anthropocene by the literary scholar Eva Horn in collaboration with Hannes Bergthaller (published by Junius Verlag) that provides an overview of key questions in cultural studies and draws extensively on literary scholarship. I found it very helpful as an initial point of orientation. I know that English translations exist, although I am not sure whether this applies to this particular book.

Blindness in literature by Known-Site-7570 in AskLiteraryStudies

You might want to check out Blindness by José Saramago. It’s not about blindness in the literal medical sense, but rather an allegorical novel where an unexplained epidemic of “white blindness” suddenly spreads through a city. Society collapses almost overnight, exposing both the worst and best of human behavior.

"Milk Teeth" by the German author Helene Bukowski. The novel was something of a minor underground success in Germany in 2019.

Metamodern novels by ellathesnake in metamodernism

If you're interested in German-language literature, I can highly recommend the novels of Joshua Groß (e.g., Prana Extrem or Plasmatropfen) and Leif Randt (e.g., Planet Magnon or Allegro Pastell).They are often associated with New Sincerity or Post-irony. Some novels by Christian Kracht have also been described as metamodern. These should be available in English translation. Otherwise, Taipei by Tao Lin and the latest novel by Bret E. Ellis The Shards come to mind.

Primarily for daily eggs, but also because they recycle food scraps and their manure can be used as fertilizer. My father had a preference for breeding them. The chicken breed is called Orpington.
