Michael Chabon's theory of literary & genre fiction that I mention early in the video is explored most clearly in the essay "Trickster in a Suit of Lights," which opens Maps & Legends - an essay collection I cannot recommend highly enough.

About stylistic contagion - the term was coined by Dorritt Cohn in Transparent Minds (1978), where she defines it as a type of narration "where psycho-narration verges on the narrated monologue, marking a kind of mid point between the two techniques where a reporting syntax is maintained, but where the idiom is strongly affected (or infected) with the mental idiom of the mind it renders" (33).
