I’m not interested in getting a perfect definition.

It’s often seen as complex and “well-written”-but all of these qualities are subjective. It may deal with “big ideas” and concentrate more on questions than on action. What makes a book literary fiction? Well, usually it is more character-driven than plot-driven. One of the genres I gravitate towards is bi and lesbian literary fiction-which is a tricky thing to describe. There are sapphic books in every genre: science fiction, fantasy, mystery, nonfiction, etc. Although I like the occasional romance novel, the truth is that it makes up very little of my reading life. When I say that I read mostly bi and lesbian literature, people often assume that means F/F romance.
