What exactly is litfic? I'm assuming that breaks down to literature fiction, which means... nothing to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Literary fiction.

Delineating what precisely that means is very hard, like any other genre, but basically stuff that's... meant to be taken seriously and written by people with English degrees and all that kind of thing.

[(Anonymous)]

That seems like a terrible way to define a genre. But then again, I try not to take anything I read seriously. Even serious books.

[(Anonymous)]

IMO social definitions like that are actually usually the best way to define genres. Because genres don't actually follow hard and fast rules. They're conceptual categories we use to organize our experience with books, and they're communities we build around books, and they're ways we market books, more than they are categories intrinsic to books.

[(Anonymous)]

It's fiction you find in the general fiction section because it isn't genre, unless it has classic status or is David Mitchell. So, easily or arbitrarily defined depending on the critical context or how much marketing clout the author has.

[(Anonymous)]

and what I mean by "unless" is that genre works like Frankenstein or magic realism sometimes get a place in the literary category, not the other way around.

[sarillia]

I tend to look at literary fiction as works where things like theme and language use are considered at least as important as plot and character by the author and sometimes more important.
