Literary Fiction
Literary fiction delves into the human condition, exploring universal themes through complex characters and nuanced storytelling. It often challenges readers, provoking thought and introspection. This genre values artistic expression and innovation, making it distinct from commercial or popular fiction. Works of literary fiction can range from contemporary pieces to those steeped in historical contexts, transcending cultural boundaries. The genre is not confined to any particular language or region, with notable examples found in English literature as well as international literatures. While science fiction books represent a specific sub-genre within the broader scope of speculative fiction, literary fiction can encompass elements of science fiction when approached from a literary perspective.
