am extremely disappointed that you included an article about genre fiction in your magazine last month That this inclusion is highly inappropriate is obvious to any serious readers A literary magazine is supposed to be about literature that is written works of art Literature sis fiction that is original and makes readers see the world in a new way It is obvious that genre fiction is the opposite of literature Genre fiction just follows formulas for example boy and girl fall in love and get married Authors of genre fiction are like cooks who just follow recipes instead of inventing new dishes It is not surprising that some of these authors turn out a hundred books I wouldn t be surprised if they wrote those things in their sleep Reading genre fiction is like watching TV To summarize my position is that you should stick to literature from now on Professor Harold Bert Dear editor As a writer of genre fiction I feel I must respond to Professor Bert I was asked about whether I would try writing literature My reply was that genre fiction is literature First I wonder whether the professor wants to ignore the fact that 90 percent of all new fiction published is genre fiction which surveys tell us Second I wonder why the professor thinks all great works are fully original Doesn t he realize that even Shakespeare got most of his stories from other sources Finally I don t understand why the professor thinks watching TV is so bad Perhaps he is a snob It seems important that genre fiction can bring pleasure Roslyn Martyn Jones 2 Fill in each blank with a noun clause
