Quote of the Day | 0808
Chandler and Rankin rightly dismiss the supposed dichotomy between crime fiction and “literary” fiction as a red herring. Despite the persistent assumption that some literary forms are inherently more formulaic than others, all writing relies on genre markers, and “genre” itself is a notoriously unstable term, invoking categories that are both permeable and endlessly mutable. The real issue — the critical issue — is how form is used, what it enables us to discover.
