more genre grasping?

Lethem annoints director for “You Don’t Love Me Yet” copyright experiment:

Lethem, a Macarthur-winning sf novelist,

I haven’t read any Lethem (any recommendations?) but I don’t see any of his books classified or described as SF. Post-apocalyptic, perhaps. <sigh> Why take the trouble to type those two characters? is it that much more cool to be an SF writer than just a plain old MacArthur-grant winning novelist? Or any kind of published novelist?

It bugs me as much as Apple bothers the perpetrator of the above, but at least I know who’s responsible for the offense.
