[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does J.K. Rowling write using her initials, and then also write the C.B. Strike novels as Robert Galbraith, a pseudonym? Did she realize that she would have better luck as a male author?[b] Does anyone see the irony in that?[/quote][/b]

dp  there is no irony.  Where have you been?  Did you read the post on here about "am I a snob because I don't think Harry Potter is good literature?"  If she was a MAN and had written it he would have been declared a genius.  Even today most people think women can not write male characters and that boys/men shouldn't have to read "chick" books!  It is sexism pure and simple.

Once it became a runaway hit than it could be revealed but, still people question it and if it is "good"[/quote]

DP.  It's also true that male authors do not use their own names when they write cozies, Regencies, etc.  Readers expect what they expect.  It's partly sexism and partly just preference (or what NY think is the readers' preference).[/quote]
