Quote reblogged from The Revenge of Shaken & Stirred with 152 notes

When I contacted Colson Whitehead, the MacArthur-genius-award-winning author who last year released “Zone One,” a literary novel about a zombie takeover of Manhattan — my message to him included the words “literary” and “genre” — he replied politely that he’d “rather shoot myself in the face” than have another discussion about the difference between one category of literature and another.

“Other people’s labels,” Whitehead answered. “Other people’s hang-ups.”
