Lit-crit is inherently unsexy. The piece <A href="http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article4276549.ece">everyone's talking about this week</A> is Kathryn Hughes's slashing-claw diatribe against fellow-biographer, Amanda Foreman. Why is it so front-page newsworthy? Because it comes trailing a picture of the delectable Amanda in the altogether. Generally, however, lit-crit (unlike sport, or film, or theatre, or dance) is testosterone poor. You can sex up every other section of the paper, but seldom, if ever, the literary pages. And sexy is the flavour of our times.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EC4638CB-B1A3-498D-90DA-41755A2AAA42/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
