There is no definitive set of genre categories and no definitive way to determine which works belong in which category. Different people treat different features as decisive, or employ entirely different taxonomies, depending on their situations, desires, and governing horizons of expectation. As John Frow remarks, genre is “a dynamic process rather than a set of stable rules.”

For Guillory, the syllabus was a distraction from the true problem: an unequal access to higher education, which reproduces class hierarchies. Professors can teach Frantz Fanon and Fred Moten all they want, but it won’t make much difference if their students continue to come from the upper class and go on to become consultants and hedge fund managers, however fluent they might now be in decolonial theory and the undercommons.

Our misapprehension about the simplicity of reading offers an opportunity for literary scholars to make a case for ourselves: Because reading is actually difficult, we need experts to teach and specialize in it.
