I think when I read literary fiction I read entirely for atmosphere, a sense of character, and the feel of words and sentences. The plot barely registers except in older novels like Dickens. I’m not a deep/close reader of such books. Plots are for my genre fiction reading.

I used to like the novels of Daphne du Maurier but they are so atmospheric I can’t even keep the individual books apart.

I read Bonfire of the Vanities because, well, everyone did and it was all the rage. I cannot tell you one single thing about the book.

That plot I do remember. White guy hits and runs black kid and goes to jail after a long politicized trial and media circus.
