Literary vs. Genre Fiction

I saw this editorial in Apex and was reminded of the conversation we had at Wyrdsmiths about literary fiction.

Also, on a similar sort of note, yesterday, SF Signals: Mind Meld had a piece on the next big genre stars, in their own words. Though clearly there's been some mistake, as no Wyrdsmith was interviewed for this piece. I did notice one local boy made good though... see if you can spot him.
