Can anyone suggest books that give a feeling of being otherworldly? Im not talking about alternative universes like superheroes comics or Harry Potter etc. where the plots are all about the main characters going through a journey or saving the world or whatnot, amd the setting is usually based on our daily reality. Not into sci fi either cos I don’t really like the mechanical and technological stuff (spaceship etc) and sci fi seems have a tendency to set in a universe where things are dystopian, dark, ominous and lack of life, colours and imagination of nature (I mean… so far no flowers in space..)
Im more aiming for a feeling or vibe. I watched 2004 Athens Olympic opening ceremony and that’s the sort of thing Im talking about- something that’s quite magical and mesmerising, not mundane like the everyday life, for the lack of better words. Henri Rousseaus paintings give similar vibes.
