No good books by women? Not one? I find that hard to believe. It's sad that we are here in 2009, shocked that this has happened. It seems that when a man writes an "emotional" book, it wins the Pulitzer or the National Book Award and when a woman does the same, it's marginalized. Okay, a few white dudes,that's cool. My Brooklyn neighborhood is full of talented white dude writers. But really guys, ten white dudes?
