airport fiction
Disposable travel novels
Airport fiction is mass-market genre novels—thrillers, romances, mysteries—sold in airport bookshops for easy reading during flights.
The term implies accessible, fast-paced storytelling that doesn't demand much concentration: He grabbed some airport fiction for the long flight to Tokyo.
The label can be dismissive, suggesting formulaic entertainment over literary merit.
