The Value of Grit by Joe Abercrombie   Here's a teaser:

Abercrombie himself points out, denegrating those who don't like
"gritty" is arrogance,too. Just because one doesn't like grit
(and this is coming from one who doesn't mind a "gritty" novel),
doesn't mean they they less sophisticated in their reading
tastes. To be condescending to such (they are naive,
disconnected to "reality", etc.) is just as annoying as the
self-righteousness displayed by the non-gritty faction.

he's not denigrating those who don't like "grit". Seems like you
didn't even read the piece...  Patrick said...  I did!  I'm not
denigrating those who don't like grit.  I'm denigrating those
who come on various boards and can't stop whining about grit.
The genre is big enough for everyone. I don't understand why
they feel the need to bitch to such a degree... :/  Anonymous
