Copied from EditTorrent:

… Nowadays, literary fiction is often more about the presentation, and you can see the appreciation for sentences and metaphors in the reviews, which often quote these. But in popular fiction, I think if someone says, “That’s a fabulous metaphor on page 22,” it’s sort of saying, “I was so caught by that metaphor I stopped reading the story.” That’s not to say you can’t have great sentences and metaphors in popular fiction, or that pop fic writers can’t be great stylists– but I do think they have to be more stealthy about it. The pop fic writer can obsess about technique as long as he remembers always that the pop fic reader is more interested in the story. Anything that adds to the experience of the story will be good. But “kill your darlings” is good advice when you find yourself frequently using very clever prose thingys that draw the reader’s eye and stop the reading.

This is a continuation of my raspberry at the idea that “Literature” is character driven and “Genre” is plot driven. I say that is a load of bilge water. If we were to redefine LitFic as style and PopFic as substance, then I’d smile and nod.

Standard disclaimer: I wouldn’t be caught dead reading LitFic, so I’m really talking out of my behind here. And I’m perfectly content to do so.
