From Tom Smith at The Right Coast:
My premise is that English departments, bookstores, the whole cultural infrastructure has marginalized the sort of great or near great books that many guys would enjoy. Instead, there are an infinite number of novels about the family lives of minority persons struggling with their new lives in NYC/London/ whereever. The Joy Luck Club, etc. etc.
If you've got ideas here, let him know! He wants to establish a list of "Guy Lit" books -- makes sense to me!
