This episode explores the differences between literary fiction and genre/commercial fiction. The hosts discuss how literary fiction focuses more on style, depth, and character development, while genre fiction tends to be more plot-driven. They examine examples from classic and contemporary literature, and debate whether literary fiction is inherently "better" than genre fiction. The conversation covers how understanding these distinctions can impact an author's writing approach and marketing strategy. The hosts also touch on works that blur the lines between literary and genre fiction, and share personal preferences and experiences with both styles. Overall, the episode aims to give writers and readers a clearer understanding of these two broad categories of fiction.
