Elmore Walks the Line
There has been a lot of debate in The Dutch Forum whether Elmore is a literary or genre writer. Kelly Spitzer, in an entry to her blog, interviews Fleur Bradley who writes both crime fiction and young adult novels.
I particularly liked her contribution to our debate.
Who are your favorite genre writers?
Elmore Leonard, Walter Mosley. I like Alice Hoffman, Anita Shreve, and I’ve been discovering YA ever since I started my own YA novel. In YA, I like Jordan Sonnenblick and Sarah Dessen.
I like writers who walk the line between genre and literary, which I do myself.
