News, sport and opinion from the Guardian's UK edition. The decline of the Gap Year. When I say that I doubt that I will take a Gap Year, many adults are surprised.

In what might be called “the persistence of patriarchy in the most surprising places,” a new study reveals that leading literary publications in the U.S. and the U.K. still review far more books written by men than women.

That’s because I stand by my reaction (here and here and here) to Weiner and Picoult, bestselling popular novelists who took offense last fall when Jonathan Franzen dominated the book world with his (admittedly over-rated) literary novel Freedom. Picoult and Weiner cried sexism when, in my estimation, they were just peeved their books weren’t getting this kind of attention.
