Writers were overlooked

Letters

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.
