   I don't about the merit of it because I haven't read any but from my point of   
   view the writer's world view tends to imbue their fiction because if can't do   
   otherwise and to categorise fiction by the writer's world view seemed to me   
   unusual. I don't think    
   it is a phenomenon that has made it over here in any big way though, come to   
   think of i,t I do know one writer who writes it.
