Intimate Adventure: No It's Not What You Think It Is
Saturday October 19, 2024 4:00pm - 4:50pm PDT
Lincoln
SF/F author Jacqueline Lichtenberg coined the term "intimate adventure" for a subgenre of SF/F whose the main theme centers around the protagonist's personal growth through the challenge of experiencing other cultures, other ways of being than what they are used to. Often with resultant culture-shock. The archetypal Hero's Journey is one form of intimate adventure. What are some other examples, and how are intimate adventure stories helpful for those of us living in 21st-century reality?
