yendiJohn Clute isn't the only one moronically attacking YA lit.
Roger Sutton, editor of The Motherfucking Horn Book, for god's sake, seems to have issues of his own:
As annoying as adults who dismiss children's books as unworthy of attention can be, I also feel my jaw clench when a fellow adult tells me that he or she prefers children's books to adult books because they have better writing or values or stories. This is just sentimental ignorance.
It's not as bad as the Clute review (especially since there's back and forth in the discussion area), but it's still disappointing.
