Midwest Emo
"What a midwesterner he was, a thoroughly unhip guy with his heart in the usual place, on the sleeve, in plain sight." — Charles Baxter, The Feast of Love
Fiction that embodies the experience of being Midwestern and full of big feelings: depression, yearning, being lost in a cornfield

Mosaics: The Composite Novel List
Can a collection of fragments reveal a hidden masterpiece? Just like a mosaic, the composite novel (AKA novels-in-stories) uses small, distinct pieces to build a singular, striking image (or, in this case, a novel). Note: I’m still reading through these, so we’re exploring together! Some picks may lean toward story cycles (thematic links) rather than the tighter arcs of a traditional novel-in-stories.
