Sure, but it's not "literary fiction". You can tell because it has a plot and I can find it in a bookstore. Literary fiction is the "art for art's sake" side of fiction writing.

No... that's not true at all. Books like Lolita, Catch-22, Animal Farm, and To Kill a Mockingbird are all considered literary fiction.
