A controversy from this past autumn followed this report:Men just cannot write romantic fiction, according to a new television programme that examines the success of one of the most denigrated of literary genres. Daisy Goodwin, the presenter of BBC 4's Reader, I Married Him, a three-part series on the novel to be shown in the autumn, said yesterday that, after interviewing writers and readers, she had concluded that "you can't have a really seriously-written romantic book written by a man".
This then provoked this now-famous debate in the Daily Telegraph between two writers of the opposite sex....and opposite point of view.

interesting arguements on both sides. i never realized that fashion was essential to romantic fiction until now.
