Derick Varn: Why do you think the hard line between literary and genre fiction emerges in the early 20th century when it had not really been there before? If one looks at the career of Ambrose Bierce or Edgar Allen Poe, the distinction obviously isn’t there. He lives in upstate New York with his wife, younger son, and a coterie of animals.Ĭ.
