What is "Literary Fiction"?
The University of Illinois Library has a robust collection of literary fiction. Literary Fiction or "serious fiction," are works that claim to hold literary merit, in comparison to genre/popular fiction. They emphasize meaning, in particular emotional meaning, over entertainment and aspires more toward art.
