Well, it's tricky. I wouldn't say 'thriller' in general is a genre, but crime thriller certainly is - I'm thinking of the stuff written by people like Jim Thompson, Donald Westlake, and Elmore Leonard. That's certainly a genre in the same way that mystery or Western or science fiction is a genre. And I think a lot of the Coen brothers' stuff (esp their early stuff) comes out of that. But not knowing that is a totally different thing from the kind of tunnel vision I'm talking about. I mean, you're aware that fiction can do those things, just not that it was classified as a genre.

You're totally spot on about the science fiction and fantasy though, people just aren't aware that fantasy fiction can do things outside of Tolkienesque epic and maybe urban fantasy. Often they aren't that interested in it doing things like that. It's honestly pretty frustrating sometimes.
