Term describing old contemporary fiction?

[(Anonymous)]

So historical/period fiction is that which is set in a past that the author probably didn't have any direct exposure to, and contemporary fiction would describe modern stuff that's set in the present day.

Is there a term for fiction that was contemporary at the time of publication but is now old enough to seem like historical fiction? E.g. The Great Gatsby was published in 1925 and is set around that same time.

Classic contemporary? Certainly something The Great Gatsby is considered a classic these days. Even stuff as recent as the 60s can get called "classic", especially if it's considered one of the great codifiers of a genre.
