Consciously old-fashioned sort of literary fiction? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antinovel

This might be a double definition.

'consciously old-fashioned sort' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'literary fiction?' is the second definition.
(I know that antinovel is a type of literary fiction)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for antinovel that I've seen before include "Unconventional story" , "experimental book" , "work of fiction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
