Normally I don’t pay much attention to mainstream “Best Of” book lists. We all know the drill, right? Men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men. Oh, and any SF&F books included are excused as being not really SF&F because they are Literature.

But Timmi Dumchamp clearly has a stronger stomach for such things than I do, which is presumably how come she discovered a list of Best British Novels compiled by 81 international literary critics. Surprise! Almost 40% of the books listed were by women.

I think that tells us quite a lot about the British literary establishment.
