Arcsquad12 posted:I find the only distinction comes when somebody decides to label something as literature or genre. It has no bearing on actual quality. It does. A genre label is generally a fool-proof indicator for lack of quality, because the culture of genre writing encourages all sorts of hackwork. It's fundamentally corrosive to quality. A literary label isn't a guarantee of quality, but it does guarantee from genre hackwork.

Hate Fibration posted:So what advantages do literature have over some decent non-fiction? The idea that it enriches your understanding of the world and the human condition always seemed misplaced to me given that what you are really learning is what some artist thinks about how things work. Which isn't exactly very compelling. Maybe you should try reading some literature.
