most public libraries have access to a few academic databases, and from there you can find countless fabulous examples of literary criticism and analysis.
some of my fave journals that might be relevant to what you’re looking for are Angelaki, College Literature, American Literary History, Journal of Modern Literature.
when in doubt, search for a book title in the database and see what pops up! happy reading 💖

Top Recs from @its_just_kate

at least casually. don’t delete the accounts but don’t have the apps on your phone either.
rediscover your love of reading thru the magic of recognizing titles strangers are holding on the subway. become a subway reader.
don’t use sound as an escape from your thoughts/feelings/surroundings. grocery shopping without headphones is actually kind of beautiful!
pick up a new hobby or two or three. one of them should be something you’re not good at, and at least one should be no- or low-cost.
never. stop. learning. the library, the parks and rec department, and nearby museums offer great materials already but also usually have free lectures or courses.
go outside more. like, a lot more.
(took this much less literally, so apologies if it’s not what you’re looking for lol — as a narcoleptic I have no tips on how to Not Sleep since Sleep is basically my job)
