Enjoyed the essay and the links. Yes, there can be a ton of pretension in lit fic, and don't get me started on some people's attitude about the whole concept of story.
I don't believe in genres. Good writing is good writing. I read what is good, and what pushes my buttons. I was fortunate. My advisors were pretty much the same kind of folks. I know isn't common.
