Recs if you like The History of Sexuality, Volume 1: An Introduction...

The second volume of my french lit starter pack saga. Damn there are so many books to pick from, it's hard tbh. Also a lot of books I'd love to share that haven't been translated into english 🥲

gender studies theoretical works for those who wish to delve into this field!! (BEWARE! it acts as umbrella term for many other fields, therefore it's immensely extensive😭)

GOATs only (emphasis on literature of northeast north america)

The French are well-known for their philosophical and off-kilter (to put it nicely) notions of sex. Do you want to like sex? Do you want it to feel repulsive? Do you want to examine it clinically? Or do you just want brain-rot? Do you like your smut good or gross? Come one, come all! The French have it all! (Includes inspired works from french philosophy also)

works of non-fiction critiquing power in society, discussing existentialism and/or other topics at the forefront of the european scene in the 20th century. featuring the most important works of authors of various backgrounds, but all with ties to the continent, whether it be through their roots or genealogy of thought, needed to understand society today from a leftist perspective.
