Okay, so here's a wild thought: dating apps are apparently becoming the new patrons of literature! Hinge just dropped an audiobook of original short stories by cool contemporary authors, all inspired by real-life dating sagas. And Feeld, another app, has a whole literary magazine featuring big names like Nan Goldin and Roxane Gay.

It's this bizarre mashup of digital romance and highbrow writing. On one hand, it's kinda brilliant marketing, linking the 'fantasy' of dating apps with the imaginative escape of books. On the other, it makes you wonder if our traditional literary journals are struggling so much that we're turning to swipe culture for our next great read.

What a world! #literature #culture #dating
