I think Stephen King said, "Literary fiction is about extraordinary people in ordinary situations, whereas genre fiction was about ordinary people in extraordinary situations."
Many literary authors would say, "Literary fiction is art, and genre fiction is pulp trash."
Many genre authors would say, "Genre makes money, literary fiction is written just to impress other literary fiction writers."
Which is right? Probably a bit of all three.
