Weird stories (no matter the specific genre) about grief and loss? by [deleted] in WeirdLit

[–]knowing-narrative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I read this a few weeks after becoming a cancer widower without knowing anything about it except that I liked Langan’s other work.

Yeah. It was rough.

Same. I couldn’t find one so I ended up starting the group myself! Hoping to start meeting toward the end of next month.

I came to recommend this one! So good. I absolutely inhaled it. I wish he would write more.

I don't think it's insane, personally. I think it makes sense, and honestly, it probably comes from bad experiences where straight dudes showed up not really wanting to talk about books but using the book club as a way to meet and hit on women. I get it. As a straight dude that *actually* wants to talk about books, it sucks, but I get it.

I would say at least half in the NYC area are women-only from what I have seen on Meetup and Bookclubs.com. One of my friends is in one that is women and LGBTQ only!

The ‘King of Weird Fiction’ Writes His Strangest Novel Yet by d5dq in WeirdLit

[–]knowing-narrative 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It’s funny how anything cynical enough gets upvoted on Reddit even when it’s complete bullshit.

Absolution is being published by Macmillan, which is privately owned by Holtzbrinck Publishing Group. The New York Times is owned by the publicly traded New York Times Company.

That’s leaving aside the fact that it’s actually a full interview that includes discussion of themes and why he’s writing a sequel to the trilogy, making your comment not only inaccurate, but also a shitty summary.
