Writer Between Worlds

An article I loved about the virtues of escapist reading and writing. The redeeming connection between the so-called escapist genres (romance, mystery, sci-fi) and wellbeing is not yet very well documented, but it intrigues me. In a literary landscape that tends to dismiss them as frivolous and not “real” literature, this confession (which matches my own experience and that of many others – just search Reddit) is probably enough to make me want to rehabilitate these feel-good genres.
