Heather Rose Jones<p>The Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast's 2024 fiction series wraps up with "A Very Long Malaise" by L.J. Lee, set in 18th c Korea.

Author-ized L.J.<p><a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritersCoffeeClub</span></a> Oct. 6 - Have you mixed genres in your work? Would you? </p><p>I don't know any other way. The short story A Very Long Malaise is <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/historicalFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>historicalFiction</span></a> and <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/sapphicFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sapphicFiction</span></a> with elements of political intrigue, mystery, and what I've called "adult Bildungsroman" where a technical grownup tries to figure out their shit. A pretty mopey story overall that goes "my ex-girlfriend sucks and so does my life," which seems like catnip for lit fic except it takes place in the late 18th century Korean palace. </p><p>I take vague pride in the fact that the one thing it is not is romance like most sapphic/queer fiction--romance takes place in in the story and matters to the protagonist, but is distinctly secondary in the story.</p>
