: Re: What is Literary Fiction? I keep hearing about literary fiction, and how it is so much better than genre fiction. What exactly is literary fiction?
Literary fiction is fiction you read so you can brag about having read it. If it ain't raining, you ain't training. If you aren't getting flak, you aren't over the target. And if you're enjoying a book, it isn't literary fiction.
Some famous literary fictionists who are actually terrible writers:
Cormac Macarthy
Chuck Palahniuk
Don DeLillo
Alice Walker
