<I?The ricochet from 'there's no bias against genre writers or fans any more, you just like feeling persecuted' to 'you're inventing unfair stereotypes of lit-fic because you don't want to challenge yourself with important deep things instead of the trash you read' is ... hmm, certainly an intriguing kind of whiplash.)

And I mean, obvs there's a lot of other stuff out there in modern or contemporary lit fic, and if you read it habitually you know that... but certainly there's a lot of what a friend called "coming of middle age" stories.
