I want to make sure the advice I get on my writing maximizes my work as an author of literary fiction. I notice that some people say things like "Delilo was unreadable. I got through half of it" and tend to disparage the genre in general for being too inaccesible, boring etc.
As a reader, I like authors like such writing. So, my question is- how do I know when to make a correction because my writing has problems from a lit fic standpoint? I'm not opposed to being a good story teller and whatnot- I just dont want to sacrifice good literary content in order to make my work more like Stephen King's or something.
Anyone else know what I mean?
