It’s so relevant and scary and sad.<br /><br />Jennifer, I’ve heard arguments that dystopias are a form of science fiction. I’m not sure I agree, I’m not sure I disagree either. There’s no reason sci-fi can’t be literary.<br /><br />JoAnn, IngridLola, I love Atwood too! I read Surfacing shortly after reading The Handmaid’s Tale. They are two very wonderful, but very different stories. She has an amazing imagination.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who hopped by my blog on the weekend. I would have posted this thank you yesterday, but my little girl has a cold. *sniff* Now me too!Lonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248163148722597124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30889172.post-82174341552684601102010-11-07T19:49:00.839-05:002010-11-07T19:49:00.839-05:00Thanks for joining in on the hop!

I can't imagine that someone would define many of the children's picture books I read as "literary," for example. But the truth is that everything I read to conclusion has at least some elements of literary work. Thoughfulness. Beautiful writing. A timeless quality.

They're technically dystopias. They're also definitely literary and two of my favorite books!

On second thought, lets just keep blogging about it! I think it's funny that no one can define literary fiction, but everyone can come up with an example!
