So I came across this article at Jezebel.com, in which a female writer wrote a column published at HuffPo opining that JK Rowling should stop writing. Rowling is successful enough, says the writer, and she should move aside to make room for up-and-coming authors.
I am a bit befuddled but mostly bemused, I think. It's ridiculous. And the writer undermines her credibility with me and with commenters (based on a few comments I read) when she says she's never read the Harry Potter novels, but pities the adults who read them for themselves, as opposed to just read them to their kids. Geez.
ETA: Here's a follow-up at The Guardian.
