Geir, are there really no distinctions made between genre
fiction and literary fiction in Europe? For instance, are
Peter Handke and Henning Mankel seen as equally worthy of
serious literary analysis? I'm not saying they aren't both
great writers, but from a US perspective I find it very odd
that no difference is seen between the two of them, even if
not qualitatively. Are they not even separated in book
stores? I know England has mystery specialty stores, so there
is some sort of distinction drawn.
