Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Writers, filmmakers and other notable figures tip us off to the stuff that most excited them this year.
  • Creeping Jesus....

    I just read"...So many men.....so few women..."

    Let's see...

    The last winner for the Pulitzer Prize in fiction was Geraldine Brooks (hint: she's not a boy)...the last recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature was Doris Lessing....moreover?...a woman is running (rather convincingly, to say the least) for president...another woman serves as Secretary of State....and yet another is President of Harvard....and I'll let you do the googling as to how many women figure prominently (and, obviously, deservedly) among the regularly featured book-reviewers of major publications, NPR.....do I need to go on?....

    If nothing else, the article which I gather you're criticizing was written by two women.

    I expect that you'll still feel mightily put-upon...

    sincerely,

    David Terry
