It's not the fact that she is shelved in fiction. It's the fact that she openly derides SF as “talking squids in outer space” while freely pillaging the SF treasury of ideas for her (imo increasingly schlocky and lurid) writing.
- drb91 8y agoI can’t see a lot of harm in this. Writers talk shit across genre boundaries (in this case, maybe in an attempt to define one!) all the time. The “arguments” they present are almost always terrible.
- glangdale 8y agoI can't see that much "harm" in it either. I'm not asking for Atwood to be arrested. I'm just explaining one of the reasons I don't like her (that, and her increasingly schlocky writing, jmo of course).
