Are James Joyce and F. Scott Fitzgerald holding SF down while Ernest Hemingway kicks it in the ribs?

If I wasn't so consumed with lassitude, I'd looking for a recent matching "The problem with modern SF is that it is too literary, what with all the homosexuals and girls writing it" essay. I'm sure one exists, though.

I think it's... 'Yes, I write science fiction, but at least I don't do tie-ins...'

(disclaimer, I'm dating a tie-in author, and I don't read the genre... /grin/)
