R+D, Santa Monica Lines: 9 Summary: Chauvinism strikes both ways. I know people who claim that only women write good fantasy these days, and won't read any new fantasy books by male authors. (Given Diane Duane, McKillip, LeGuin, Tanith Lee, etc. we certainly have recently had an explosion of female fantasy writers.) By the way, while we're at it, I'd like to mention Octavia Butler's stuff, particularly PATTERNMASTER, MIND OF MY MIND, THE SURVIVOR. --Lee Gold
