Plot is the glue that holds a story together. While most popular fiction has a plot that drives the story from beginning to end, literary stories may or may not ahve a plot.
When writing popular fiction, exposition should be kept to a minimum. Honing these details and showing them through the characters' eyes is the best way to do this. Long blocks of what is essentially a non-fiction thesis in the middleof a popular storywill turn the reader off. This is to be avoided.
In literary fiction there is often no plot where an explosion of exposition is allowed. Many of the stories we think about are listed as classics, written years ago when people must have enjoyed a leisurely pace in their stories. That doesn't happen today. Most readers want the story to flow from scene to scene without all the exposition.
So decide when you're writing if you're looking to write a popular story or one that appeals tothe litery reader and use exposition in the way that fits.
