The value, however, of the book's overarching thesis--that these works open the way to a "unified theory of the sentimental mode of fiction"--will vary according to each reader and his or her own sympathy for genre criticism and its transhistorical claims. Delve into literary or film studies, and you'll run into something called genre criticism. However, as the discussion of genre criticism is not so important in the case of some kinds of literary works, we can safely call this a "memoir," in which, as we know, writers can freely cross the border between fiction and nonfiction. |
