NP : Was " genres are literature too" thread

[Markekohut]

I cannot find the lat post on this, from Paul M., I think, but posting one differing opinion
Still seems necessary to me.

On theme: which is in my use not just a topic or subject but a vision of a topic or subject.
War:     Topic of The Iliad and All quiet on the Western Front, for example. Themes quite different.

And perhaps themes even the best mysteries cannot have?

But I' m now threadbare on this thread
