A
The other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad.She was very welldressed,carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied makeup indeed,she had an unmistakable air of wealth,material success and even authority.I suspected she worked as a highlypaid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort.So,I was curious to see what she was so focused on.The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?
Quite the contrary;ratherless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyperromantic,artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome,manly heroes falling in love with virginal women,enduring a series of adventures,then no doubt having a happy ending.
These_romance_stories_are_to_literature_what_hot_dogs_are_to_fine_food.Yet,the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular.Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of (RWA): romance titles were released last year,with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the revenues generated by classic literary fiction).(okay,that’s not at all surprising).n between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure).ween $50,000 and $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class).o many women—forty years after the women’s liberation movement continue to indulge in the fanciful tales?
