I write literary fiction, and very often I think, "How many people do actually read literary fiction?" It is important for me to know that because I do want people to read what I write.
There are so many exciting genres like science fiction, mystery, horror, romance etc. which grab the reader's attention and sustains it. I don't mean to say that literary fiction doesn't, but it is much more subtle and is closely connected with real life.
I think every writer will be interested in knowing how many people like the genre in which he/she is writing and why. That will definitely help the writer in innovating techniques which can actually increase the number of readers and improve his/her chances of getting published.
Okay. I read literary fiction because I learn a lot about life, culture, people, their behavior, their emotions, contradictions from it. I like to study human behavior and also understand life in a better manner. Literary novels and poems have given me wisdom and knowledge, which i can use in real life towards better understanding of life and people.
