I think they mean good-vs-evil, larger than life, supernatural-powers conflicts.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh, I skipped right over that. LOL

[dreemyweird]

I assume the author just finds conflicts that do not involve super destructive epic magic too boring to read. Which is, like, fair enough. Different strokes for different folks.

But I have to agree that the wording is unfortunate.

[dreemyweird]

I know what you mean. I suspect that if the OP cared to educate themselves a little and take a deeper look at literature as a medium, they might have rather more potentially enjoyable books.

On the other hand, they may not necessarily wish or have time to do any self-education in this regard. Maybe they just want to read about flashy things that go kaboom.

[dethtoll]

Agreed. And that's not even getting into my regular arguments about "literary fiction" (read: not "genre fiction") being essentially magical realism anyway.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I was trying to avoid saying "literary fiction." Things like debating whether to cheat on your loving spouse, or whether to quit your high-paying job for another one. They just seem so small to me. (I have been interested in books that bring up bigger problems like war or illness.)

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, yes, this sort of thing is why I read books as a kid. I think good fantasy is a substitute for good exotic-setting fiction, while bad fantasy is often weakly thought-out power fantasy.

Although I'm not as into the world-changing stuff myself. I want to see the world in a book, not to see it smashed.

Re: OP

[sarillia]

Could you give me some recs for that Japense fiction from the 20s and 30s? I haven't read much Japanese literature other than a bunch of Kobo Abe novels (which I love) and I'd like to read more.
