20.11 Are Novel genres helpful or constraining? A bit of both?
I view genres as a list of reader expectations. These expectations separate a Western from a sci-fi or detective novel. And these expectations can be combined, shifted, and twisted. But they have to be met enough for the reader to find what they're looking for. As writers we must decide which elements we'll preserve and which get shaken up.
