Kรผnstlerinroman : The Feminine Artists' Maturity
A German word for a novel following the growth and maturing throughout a feminine artist's whole life, not just a coming of age! Often semi- or fully autobiographical. I discovered this word through a poem by Ocean Vuong and finding the feminization of the word! please feel free to suggest more! and i am use the word feminine here not as a direct antonym to masculinity (boy vs girl), but rather an exploration of stories outside of the cisgender male artists' stories.
Romanticism & Melancholy
A pick of romanticist fiction, poetry and essays, both 19th century and contemporary with adjacent vibes, from me to you. Expect sentimental, but often dark stories and magical places real and fictional, alternative and mythological.
