A collage of book covers including 'Play It As It Lays' and 'Bunny,' with the text 'women vs. the void or: books with unhinged female protagonists' overlaid. The image features various titles recommended for their themes of female struggle and existential turmoil.
Two book covers, 'Brutes' and 'Severance,' are displayed with their genres (literary fiction, science fiction) and page counts. Summaries describe 'Brutes' about girls orbiting a missing preacher's daughter and 'Severance' about a woman photographing an abandoned New York.
Two book covers, 'One's Company' and 'Penance,' are shown with their genres (literary fiction, crime, mystery). Summaries detail 'One's Company' about recreating a TV show and 'Penance' about a journalist investigating a girl's murder.
unhinged & existential book recs
One of my absolute favorite subgenres is unhinged female protagonists (antagonists??). I love books about nearly-feral teens showcasing the trials and absolute mania of girlhood, inner female struggles metaphorically manifesting into the paranormal, or the existential turmoil of being a woman in
