NOTE

Embrace the Challenge of Refusal

Challenging established structures and norms is essential for genuine exploration and literary evolution. Embracing the refusal of colonial ideals, capitalistic frameworks, and traditional gender binaries fosters innovative thinking and creativity. This approach encourages readers to engage deeply with the material, moving beyond spoon-fed narratives and familiar story arcs. By intentionally rejecting conventional forms, authors can create works that provoke thought, invite diverse interpretations, and ultimately enhance the reader's experience. This process validates the significance of confronting challenges to facilitate meaningful dialogue and understanding.
