    Authors Behaving Badly: Chick lit vs Lit fic

     Now I've read all 3 books, I agree with Sittenfeld's review of Bank's book (The Wonder Spot). Sittenfeld's and Weiner's books are much, much better. So I don't get why Weiner attacked Sittenfeld that way. I first assumed it was because Sittenfeld criticized chick lit. But a lot of Weiner's attack was about Sittenfeld herself. In the end, I guess I have to chalk it up to personalities.

     I usually like Salon.com's book lists. But why on earth have they jumped on the chick lit bandwagon? They say they're picking books that engage the brain, and don't leave you feeling "cheap and empty". How is "Slummy Mummy" ("a bumbling mommy flirting with adultery") better than, say, a well-plotted JD Robb romantic suspense with a kick-ass heroine?
