"The categorical dismissal of the most-read genre in the world reveals ignorance, not intellectual superiority."
I loved this article! Author Kristan Higgins absolutely hits all the right cords with this amazing article about Romance literature.
Are we seeing a resurgence in "challenging" fiction, to compete with our new Golden Age of television and give us something that movies and TV can't? Terry McMullan over at The Guardian thinks we just might be.
"As the introduction of photography affected the role of painting, or as film altered the place of novels in the 20th century, new narrative forms are inevitably affecting the place and purpose of the novel. As the basic need for storytelling is catered for to a large extent by TV dramas, it may be that readers turn to the novel for something else, something new."
Great level headed letter of opinion that's a must read for most of us - whether you read romance or not.
Feel free to reblog this one. I think we all need to read it.
