I will have to add it to my TBR list...But I object: boomer literature is like YA lit: it's not a sub-genre, it's a broad genre in the sense that it is audience-centric, like YA. The difference is that it doesn't address Young Adults but Older Adults (grin!). Therefore, like YA lit, all the theme-related genres fit under it, from romance and women's fiction to paranormal, historical, thrillers, science fiction, whatever. At the top level, you have the broad audience-centric category (in this case boomer lit's audience is today's boomers, some 78 million in the US alone: born between 1946 and 1964, they will all be past the 50+ mark by year-end and hitting retirement at the rate of 3.5 million/year. A huge market!)<br /><br />Under it, snug in your women's fiction!Claude Forthommehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871790739257823515noreply@blogger.com
