Literary fiction has a bad rap for focusing on the darker aspects of humanity, but this is a misnomer. Joy, adoration, love and hope are as integral to the spectrum of human emotion as depression, sorrow, pain and longing is. The difference between a cosmetic romance, for example, versus the romance in a literary novel, would be that love is not struck simply by two characters looking at one another; the characters would experience realistic and interesting things as one would in a real courtship, with emotive joys and challenges.
A literary romance makes the characters work, and in turn, the reader works with them. However, along with these discoveries comes the rewards, for a kiss in a literary novel will be substantially more palatable than one in a facetious romance; in fact, the better the literary work, the more the reader personally experiences the kiss, creating a memory of affection they may find difficult to distinguish from their own.
