Chick Lit War Ceasefire! Sittenfeld-Weiner Peace Accord Reached
Weiner gave Sittenfeld credit for extending the olive branch by inviting her to an event: "And now I have a writer friend, which is cool. She was kind enough to read a draft of CERTAIN GIRLS and give me some notes that I found incredibly helpful, and I read her forthcoming novel, and suggested that she send all of the characters shoe-shopping at least once (kidding!)" Heartwarming! We can only hope that this historic accord will go a long way towards solving the problem that Weiner identified (and, um, worsened) in that blog post:"[W]hile we're performing the online equivalent of pulling each other's hair and writing mean things about each other's work on the virtual bathroom walls, men are still getting the majority of reviews in major papers and men are still penning the majority of the pieces in The New Yorker and influential magazines."
