This is where we find “all literature that does/contains x belongs in genre y,” for sometimes wildly generalising values of x. For books that won a major literary prize, they were not so widely a part of the conversation within the genre fandom space. They’re SFF enough to win points in an argument, but not SFF enough to actually be welcomed into the genre tent. To go back to the Booker, can a work not be both literary fiction and science fiction simultaneously? The now moves—does that mean that those books fall out of the genre as the conversation moves with it?
