A Quick Look into Literary Fantasy

Of all the authors here, Aimee Bender was the most familiar to me. I was glad to hear one author point out that many, many authors in the science fiction and fantasy field have been writing Literary quality fiction for years. It's been common since the New Weird, but sadly very few Literary critics give it any notice.

But it's good to see the established giving greater credit where credit has been long overdue.
