In my view, 'bracket fiction' could also be something specific to a certain literary movement or group of writers. It might be a way to play with the traditional format of fiction. The use of brackets could be a device to create a sense of fragmentation or to juxtapose different ideas or voices. For instance, a writer could use brackets to insert historical facts or cultural references within a fictional narrative, adding depth and context to the story.
One tip is to organize them by genre. For example, put all the superhero graphic novels together, and the fantasy ones in another section. This makes it easier for readers to find what they like.
One good practice is to shelve them alphabetically by the author's last name. This makes it easy for people to find a particular author they are looking for. For example, all books by Stephen King would be grouped together.
Fiction books are often shelved according to the author's name or the type of fiction, like thrillers or young adult. Nonfiction is typically organized by topic areas, such as biographies being together or books on technology. Also, libraries might use different classification systems for shelving these two types.
Grouping graphic novels by size can be a great idea in a small space. Put the smaller ones together and the larger ones together. This creates a more organized look and maximizes the use of space.
There may be some experimental short stories or self - published works that are examples of 'bracket fiction'. Maybe a story where the main character's dreams are presented in brackets within the regular narrative. So, as the story progresses, the bracketed parts about the dreams add a different layer of understanding to the character's waking life and actions. Another possibility could be a story that uses brackets to show alternative endings or different paths the story could take, making the reader more involved in the decision - making process of the narrative.
In a small space, vertical shelving is key. Use tall bookshelves to maximize the storage area. Stack the fiction books neatly, perhaps double - stacking thinner volumes. You can also use wall - mounted shelves to save floor space.
