Is it specifically because it defines itself in contrast to genre writing, and since genre writing has already cornered the market on HEA, literary fiction defaults to discontent? And what are the gender implications of such genre bifurcation?<br /><br />In THE GLASS SLIPPER: WOMEN AND LOVE STORIES, Susan Ostrov Weisser makes the point that in the Victorian period, discussion and depiction of love was not confined to genre literature, nor to a primarily female audience: "In the Victorian age love was discussed and defined in high-toned intellectual and literary journals as well as in low-quality penny newspapers, and articles about its nature were frequently written by men. Well-known authors such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Grant Allen, and Washington Irving, contributed their opinions on the subject, clearly an important one. It seems to have been assumed that both sexes would be interested in thinking about this newly fascinating topic and exploring the feelings and problems associated with it" (52).Jackie C.

Sex in romance novels is usually portrayed as arousing, intimate, fulfilling, and as moving a relationship forward in a positive manner. The literary world derides the romance genre because the key to the formula is ending with Happily Ever After (or HFN), key work HAPPY, which is anathema to literary writing. <br /><br />I really wish there were better academic programs for genre writers. I keep telling a certain college that won't be named that if they offered romance writing they'd get a huge influx of applications to their MFA program!Andrea Dempseyhttp://www.twitter.com/AndreaDempsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630346294397505634.post-81323135471699565432014-04-20T15:47:51.313-04:002014-04-20T15:47:51.313-04:00Thanks for the suggestion, Anonymous!Thanks for the suggestion, Anonymous!Jackie C.

Just read McKenna's latest, and enjoyed it a lot, especially the way the two protagonists have very different ideas about what the other wants/should want from sex...Jackie C.

There is lots of well-written sex in romance and the tone is often quite different from writer to writer and book to book. Cara McKenna is a favorite for everything from sweet and tender to dirty and rough. Is "best sex between a newly minted dominatrix and a self-loathing masochist hermit" a category? ;-)<br /><br />Elizabeth Hoyt is another favorite. I guess I'm mainly thinking about Thief of Midnight here, but I don't want to give anything away for anyone who hasn't read it. It all just seemed so perfectly in character--not generic at all. <br /><br />Victoria Dahl often impresses me with her humor and handling of characters with sex and body issues. Also three different sub-genres here: erotic, historical and contemporary which has to somewhat influence the tone and content of sex scenes I think to be believable. <br /><br />Oh, and I'll tack something on at the end here. I read a lot of fantasy growing up and Mercedes Lackey wrote a really interesting though not especially graphic sex scene with two characters who have telepathy in By the Sword. I imagine paranormal romance fans have had similarly interest-piquing reactions to sex that would be impossible outside the sub-genre. I'll be following this thread closely as I need some new reading material to take with me on vacation!<br /><br />-ElisabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
