There is an extreme version of this that is not restricted to "great" works of literature. *Any* literary work that "works" does so by dissolving or inventing a genre. Kinda like every innovation is at least a little disruptive.

How important do you think the tension is with an existing genre? As in, does greatness necessarily require an anchor to something previously known?
