Editor: In her article on Linda Grant ("Head-to-head with
the boys," Bulletin, Nov. 1), Katharine Hamer writes
that (apart from Grant) "there are few [Jewish] women writers
to compare" with such well-known male Jewish writers as Saul
Bellow, Philip Roth and Mordecai Richler.
I find this puzzling in that it seems to overlook many notable Jewish
women writers, such as Grace Paley, Joanne Greenberg, Cynthia Ozick
and Rebecca Goldstein. Linda Grant is not an exception or an anomaly,
as Ms. Hamer's remark implies.
