Jennifer Weiner Sends Up the Gray Ladies at Beatrice

A fun and serious and nicely done reply regarding chicklit and gray ladies this morning at Beatrice.com by guest author Jennifer Weiner.

I went off to Princeton with plans to be an English major and, of course, write the great American novel. "We expect great things from you," my professors said. I'm not sure, but I suspect that those great things did not include a debut novel featuring naked legs and cheesecake on a candy-pink cover. (One of my most persistent Princeton fantasies involves my world-renowned professors standing in a circle saying, "Good in Bed? Nope, she wasn't in my class!")
