I consider “literary” more a style than a genre. As can be seen by the easy invention of new genres to allow some critics to avoid seeming to review certain genres.
For example, John Crowley’s Little, Big has won many fantasy awards but is often described as magical realism when discussed “seriously”.

I am a fan of Stephen King’s work. I was just disappointed in his slamming of writers Stephenie Meyer, Suzanne Collins, and E.L. James.
