Urban Fiction Collection Urban fiction, sometimes referred to as urban lit or street lit, is a genre of fast-paced stories that features contemporary settings about characters dealing with complicated issues like drugs, violence, and relationships. According to NoveList one of the reasons this genre is growing in popularity is because, "urban fiction books unabashedly feature people of color -- not as token sidekicks, not as well-developed secondary characters, but as the chief players: the heroes, the villains, and everyone in between." These are page-turning, high drama reads. Check our our new urban fiction section on second floor. If you already read and love urban fiction, our Reader Services Coordinator would love your feedback - you can email her at elaforge@sailsinc.org.
