Yet, in the context of writing, its identity requires most complicated knowledge and approach to articulating or presenting for no misleading applications.

The genre theory is not only inclusive but also capable of providing decisive forces for drawing borderlines to distinguish the subject and named genre, which is exactly what we need for cognizing literary nonfiction.
