| | Fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fictional works—novels, pictures, stories, fairy tales, fables, films, comics, interactive fiction—may be partly based on factual occurrences but always contain some imaginary content. | | | Fiction has often been the target of censorship or boycotts, escalating into book burnings or bans. | | | Fiction is storytelling of imagined events and stands in contrast to non-fiction, which makes factual claims about reality. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Books Critics The end of literary fiction |
| | In years to come, literary historians may look back on this manifesto and realise this was the moment at which, like the little boy in the fairytale, that someone dared to say out loud that the emperor has no clothes. | | | Some have even gone so far as to observe that the label could simply be a way of describing a novel that places style before content, puts prose before plot and subordinates character and narrative to nebulous aesthetic concerns. | | | Myers's argument is an entertaining and passionate lament for what he sees as the parlous state of contemporary American literary writing. |

| | But then I had an idea: I could show, quantitatively, that literary fiction is not just another genre, and is, in fact, separate and different from the rest of contemporary fiction. | | | Other relatively recent literary books might include One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel García Márquez, which is 2,394 in paperback, and 9,469 for the Everyman's hardback. | | | What's more, literary books were generally available in hardcover or library bindings, whereas non-literary books generally weren't: it's clear which ones are aimed at posterity. |

| | A nun is forced to confront the sins of her past after a package arrives in the mail bearing evidence of a twenty-five-year-old crime she thought she had put behind her. | | | In this story two sisters fall in love with the same man. In lesser hands this would be the stuff of pot-boiler fiction. | | | Ishiguro writes a heart-wrenching tale of a nine-year-old British boy in Shanghai at the beginning of the century whose father, working for a firm whispered to have something to do with the opium trade, disappears. |

| | Create Literary |
| | If you read great books, write fiction that is true to your own creative vision, and revise (with feedback from others) until the work is as perfect as you can make it, you will produce literary fiction. | | | While I do occasionally take nonfiction books, most of what I accept will be in the genre known as literary fiction. | | | But if you can’t stop yourself; if the desire for producing something truly beautiful outweighs utilitarianism, then you are really and truly a literary writer and your work will have transcendency. |

| | Definition of Literary fiction |
| | The distinction has its artificial side, in the sense that magical realism counts as literary, while fantasy writing is excluded; the dividing line cannot be accurately drawn on the basis of content alone, and has to include style as a consideration. | | | There is no particular reason that forms should be so limited; other categories could include the novelette, and the graphic novel as represented by a work such as Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth. | | | Literary fiction includes works written as short story, novella, novel and novel sequence. |

| | Theme in Literary Fiction |
| | The Old Testament has a theme, that theme being God's love for His chosen people; the ancient epic Gilgamesh has a theme, namely, the impermanence of life. | | | For example, describing Mark Twain's novel Huckleberry Finn as "the story of a boy who travels down the Mississippi River on a raft with an escaped slave" is a synopsis; but the theme of the story is the inhumanity of racism. | | | Instinctively, even before readers demanded that fiction show structure and depth of characterization, they looked for theme. |

| | Conversely, "literary" writers use genre in their work. | | | More important, I think, is the effort put into distinguishing literary fiction from genre fiction. | | | Good fiction does so much more than replicate basic elements; young writers learn more by writing beyond genre, beyond what they know, by writing the foreign into the familiar. |
