Genre is the type or style of literature.

Works that are literary tend to masterfully use genre conventions and literary devices to create a world in the mind of the reader. Works that are less literary tend to be for practical and/or entertainment purposes and the writer dedicates less focused energy towards artfully employing literary devices.
