A New Genre...

Updated: Oct 18

Bildungsroman.

Hah! A term/genre new to me, anyway. Recently a reviewer called the Vox Oculis series "a true bildungsroman." I am not ashamed to say that I have never heard that word before. At first, I though it was a typo, but then I looked it up and there it was:


"Bildungsroman: In literary criticism, a Bildungsroman is a literary genre that focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from childhood to adulthood, in which character change is important."


I don't know if VO falls in that category or not. I'll have to think about it. What do you think? Here is an interesting article I found describing bildungsroman - https://celadonbooks.com/bildungsroman-definition/
