Elizabeth Knox, quoted from an interview found here:
"I think genre labels are a marketing invention, and that "literary fiction" is also a genre, and that literature--the real thing--can appear in any "genre."
I so agree. Her own books, for instance, defy categorisation and are beautifully written.
Damn it, there are so many books I want to reread, whole series in some cases - and I just don't have the time!
