I don't care for chick lit, but neither do I like seeing that genre or any other sniffed at because it's not Serious Literature. So today I'm applauding GalleyCat Ron Hogan for pointing out that by the apparent standards of a certain obnoxious chick-lit basher, even the redoubtable Dorothy Parker was a literary lightweight.
Go read. Take notes. Then you'll be able to hold your own in any discussion on the literary value of chick lit.

Thanks for that article, Brenda! I, too, have been tired of the literary snobbery--it's in the CBA, too--and to read his article is fascinating.

Yeah. Ron really nailed it.
I write chick-lit, and I'm so over this :-)
Well, hey. If you really want to be ridiculed, Julie, just try writing romance.
