As with any new category in literature, there is still some debate as to what can be classified as Boomer lit. Some say that anything featuring an older character can qualify, while others say that this alone does not necessarily qualify a piece of work. While Boomer lit has the potential to entice people from all generations, the same way YA literature does, those who write Boomer lit tend to be aware that many of those from the boomer generation are looking for something new to read.
