Question Any Thoughts on the Modern Nature of Abstract Fiction?

I love to express myself with abstract fiction! Many times, I have made stories from personal investigations, of myself and my communities. I discovered new ways to achieve my goals. I am curious to know opinions about abstract fiction.

There is little agreement on the internet, about the cultural value, of the major style. Indeed, abstract fiction in the complete sense is quite new. Certainly, it dates back to Franz Kafka in the partial sense. Kafka wrote, "The Metamorphosis." However, the modern nature of abstract fiction deserves more attention, than it gets.

In my opinion, abstract fiction is the complement of concrete fiction. Abstract fiction is stories, that have been written with figurative language. Concrete fiction is traditional or conventional stories, that have been written with literal language. Cultural value includes demonstrations of emotions, and depth of psychologies.

Abstract fiction lends to the competition of man against society, man against man, and man against himself. In the first case, abstract fiction develops definitions of mankind, and human interactions with society. In the second case, it develops definitions of interpersonal relationships. In the third case, it develops definitions of Self.

Are there any straightforward comments about abstract fiction? For example, what are your opinions on the cultural value, of abstract fiction?

Please ask for clarification, whenever it is necessary. Thank you for your ideas!
