Fascinating read this morning. I too find upmarket fiction grating, thanks for the path to illumination as to why. Also? The Lit Hub and McSweeneys links are hilarious. I still think you should read A Gentleman of Moscow, btw.

I think Jodi Picoult is upmarket that shades towards the commercial side, probably depending a little book to book. I've read a couple and enjoyed them, but I think for the same reasons I enjoy commercial fiction, just get me turning the pages.

Ha! Every time I mention that I haven't read A Gentleman in Moscow I get urged to read it. I know my mom will be on my case about it if she sees this.
Ha--upmarket fiction = books your mom urges you to read. Does Jodi Picoult qualify? My mom used to push her on me constantly.
