So we did the love poems, now here are some reading ideas for the cynics out there đ
Happy St. Valentineâs Day!
I am at the San Miguel Writers Conference in Mexico, which, ironically, means I have little time to write.
Lucky for you, I had this love poem published on Burlesque Press, and I had time to write the following list:
Â
ANTI-ROMANCE NOVELS(okay, theyâre not all novels, but these are books that poo-poo traditional romance):
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn â A wild-ride thriller about a psychotically dysfunctional marriage
The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham â A classic: Â adultery, revenge, and death by cholera
Wild by Cheryl Strayedâ Girl gets a divorce from her loving husband and has one-night stands, while hiking the Pacific Coast Trail.
Invisible by Paul Auster â A twisted post-modern tale involving murder and creepy love affairs.
On the Road by Jack Keroacâ The beat boys treat women like crap, then they go to a brothel in Mexico.
Bad Behavior
