Page Turners with Katja | Depressing Narratives & Uplifting Book Recommendations @PageTurnersWithKatja | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Today we look at an interesting conversation started by Øystein from "Becoming a Bookworm," which started off as a comment on literary gender preferences and concluded with the search for uplifting narratives by women. Today's discussion looks at depressing narratives and lighthearted book recommendations by touching on cultural narratives and , societal conditioning which influence the themes prevalent in literature across genders. We also briefly look at translated fiction, indie presses and welcome a broader conversation about reading preferences and being open to looking for books outside our usual comfort zone.
