Hello, book lovers!
I'm looking for recommendations for books that blur the line between literary fiction and romance, particularly those featuring complex male protagonists. I'm not sure if these classify strictly as romance, but I particularly enjoyed:
- "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde
- "Don Juan" by Lord Byron
- "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera
What I appreciate about these works:
- Sophisticated, literary prose
- Complex male characters exploring love, desire, and sexuality
- Philosophical themes interwoven with romantic elements
- Male point of view (POV) or significant male perspective
I'm seeking similar books that:
- Feature beautiful, evocative writing
- Center on male characters navigating relationships and desire
- Explore deeper themes alongside romantic storylines
- May be classified as literary fiction but have strong romantic elements
Thanks!
