Re:Chick Lit Rant - 08/26/2006
I think the problem for me is that there is already a genre associated with similar material, if not settings. From reading the article a couple of times, I get the feeling that a romance novel fits completely within the standards set by the author, if we move the setting into the 20th century. That being said, I think the biggest problem the article gave me was the categorizing of the genre, by the author, and then jumping into a "persecution complex" mode. I found the article itself, in spite of the above, to be informative.
