Interesting short piece by Stephen King about violence and gore in writing, as pertains to the VA Tech massacre: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20036014,00.html
Above link copied from the Smart Bitches Trashy Books blog. It's very interesting how they and others in the romance novel community have been discussing this and that the current hoopla (not hooha - giggle) had been about rape in romance novels and therefore who determines what should and should not be considered "romance".
But those who read and write romance novels are dumb chicks with no taste for LLLLiterature. We can hardly spell, much less have discussions on meta-topics like rape and violence. And I send you to Argh Ink and Jenny Crusie, from whom I cribbed the hooha in-joke, I have just noticed....
