When people ask me what my favorite genre is, I hesitate before admitting that it’s Literary Fiction. One, it sounds pretentious (just the word ‘literary’ is pretentious) and two, it confuses people. Even I didn’t realize I liked Literary Fiction for awhile. So I often resort to saying something like, “just fiction, general fiction, like realistic fiction” and hope people understand. But, I thought it would be helpful to make a somewhat guide about literary fiction and recommendations if you’re looking to get into it!
