Re: What's up with readers of literary fiction scoff at SFF novels?

[(Anonymous)]

Some people are just dicks. Some people are just snobby, or have very narrow definitions of what's allowed to be good.

But also, a lot of SFF is pretty bad, and that often includes some of the stuff that active, vocal SFF fans are most passionate about. It's not historically a fanbase with super high standards - nerds overrate a lot of stuff.

But so much literary fiction is generic or outright terrible, too?

Including books that are really popular in/considered classics of the genre.

Bleh.

There's a lot of different ways of judging quality, if you really get down to it, and it's not like I'm some objective judge of it any more than anyone else is. And I'm not going to deny that literary fiction is a genre like any other, and does have bad books within it (and also, is hard to actually define the same way that other genres are).

But if you want my personal opinion, I think you're really overstating the case here. Yes, there are bad books in literary fiction, but not nearly as many as people make out, especially ones that are regarded as classics of the genre. They may not be to your taste, and they may have various defects and things that can be problematized, but that's not always the same as being "bad", not the same way that a lot of genre fiction is bad.

That's just my personal opinion, I know no one's going to agree with me, there's no easier argument in the world to make than to say that every book assigned in school is awful. But that's what I happen to think. Even though I love genre fiction and probably read more of it than I do literary fiction.
