Fiction

It's certainly not science fiction that those of us in the s-f world would recognize. I've never read "Beloved". I have read "Undereground Railroad" and agree that it is in a blurry area.

One of the things that those of us in s-f are made crazy by, is that we are deemed less worthy than other forms of literature.

As someone once pointed out, "literary fiction" is a genre. Just like romance or mystery or science fiction. The only difference is that "literary fiction" is considered better than those others. Hah!
