julieandrewsAuthor Jennifer Lynn Barnes gave a list of her top 10 supernatural families to The Guardian.
Here's the List
Assuming all initial names are women (with the exception of CS Lewis), then there's only one male author on her list. The aforementioned CS Lewis.
Do men typically not write about families? Or just in the sf/f world?
Note: Of course of course, personal bias, this is a personal list, maybe she mostly reads women authors, etc. But I still think it's a useful question to ask.

Date: 2010-11-07 05:09 am (UTC)In the greater sf/f sphere there are plenty of families in books by both men and women. Most epics -require- family ties of some sort... a good fraction of major plot themes involve sibling rivalry or some kind of parental issues.
How many books can you name where there are -no- related characters?
