Brutalist literature
Brutalist literature is a style characterized by stark, direct language and an unadorned, raw presentation of themes. It often explores challenging, intense subjects with minimal decoration, emphasizing honesty and emotional impact. Inspired by the Brutalist architectural movement, which favored functional, rugged designs, this literary approach favors brevity, bluntness, and a focus on the realities of human experience. The goal is to evoke a visceral response, stripping away aesthetic distractions to confront readers with powerful, unfiltered truths.
