Part of what makes literature great is that authors push themselves to write new and interesting stories that make readers think about life in different ways. Literary fiction that contains zombies, killer robots, or ghosts hunters can be just as good as a classically styled novel. Great stories are great stories, however they are told. Carmen Maria Machado, Ramona Ausubel, and Anjali Sachdeva use a blend of genres to create their incredible stories. Sir Kazuo Ishiguro ( or ), OBE, FRSA, FRSL is a British novelist of Japanese origin and Nobel Laureate in Literature (2017). Short story collections with fantastical elements have also been expanding readers’ minds on what literary fiction can look like. Colson Whitehead, Jesmyn Ward, and David Mitchell are just a few authors producing literary works with deep roots in genre fiction. But as more and more writers push the boundaries of genre with their books, more books with genre elements are winning awards.
