To me, too often it means fiction that doesn't bother with a silly little thing like plot, and I think plot is of paramount importance. I want a story, not fancy language or "meaning."

Obviously I am overgeneralizing, but that's the prejudice I start with.
I don't like labels such as literary fiction or classic. The problem with such labels is that they are meaningless.
