In response to the article Kass posted the link to – I like genre fiction, and I think writers need to stop being embarrassed about the idea of belonging to a genre. It annoys me that the idea of ‘literary’ writing persists when it’s really all about how something is written and not what is being written, (the example in the article being about the narrative structures of Never Let Me Go and Wolf Hall). It’s an entirely different point of judgement, meaning in my opinion literary fiction and genre fiction shouldn’t be compared at least not with the aim of claiming one as better than the other.
