literary fiction

I recently sent an email to the good folks over at AgentQueryasking them to update my listing on their site. They got most of the details correct -- name, preferred method of contact, email address, special interests -- but under genres represented they included "literary fiction."
Intriguingly, I've recently received a number of queries sent in response to my strong stated interest in literary fiction, to which I say... huh? Sure, on my submissions page, I mention I'm looking for "brilliant, funny, original middle grade and young adult fiction, both literary and commercial" but this is all in one bullet point, and thus, I think pretty clear that the word "literary" here refers to "middle grade and young adult fiction." Does anyone still remember how to diagram sentences?
