Re: A Private Letter from Genre to Literature by Daniel Abraham

Haha thats brilliant. My fav part was :

You take the best of me, my most glorious moments - Ursula LeGuin and Dashiell Hammet, Mary Shelly and Philip Dick - and you claim them for your own. You say that they "transcend genre". There are no more heartless words than those. You disarm me.


It reminded of the snobby academics in Lit classes. Genre greats stop being genre when they became respected classics hehe.
