Bradley. I so very much appreciated your post, though I can't agree with your anti-Winona conclusion. As far as I can tell, mainstream (high-sales') writers have been feeding off the idea of "writing what they don't know" for nearly a decade. How else can we explain the plethora of novels (movies and TV shows) about vampires, werewolfs, and zombies? <br /><br />(Re: your daughter: She certainly wrote about Italy as a young teen, but the question is whether she wrote about Italy in a fashion that would make sense to actual Italians. Did she, in other words, successfully "pull" a Henry James? I doubt it. (And no slight to her!) I also doubt that the past ten years of NYT bestsellers will stand the test of time...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
