What is literary fiction?
The author pays attention to the sounds and rhythms of language
as well as the double meanings, etymologies, or allusiveness of language.
It is prose poetry, at the sentence level and
at a larger level where themes, characters and events relate poetically.
The subject is engaged with something that might be called weighty,
questioning how we think, how we make meaning, or why things happen the way they do.
The form contributes to the meaning and is not just embellishment.
The writing style is as important as subject matter, if not more so.
