Title:
Body:	My problem with <a href="http://zedfbco.com">fasatny</a> has been precisely the opposite of Big Hollywood's. I find <a href="http://zedfbco.com">fasatny</a>'s conservatism - as in, its lack of new ideas or genre changes - to be its main problem. Its become hideously conformist, trapped within the <a href="http://zedfbco.com">fasatny</a> trilogy style. "Genre" is an inherently conservative thing, but one can still hope that writers in a genre can find new ways to express the genre, new ideas and forms. To do this requires experimentation, and inevitably some of this experimentation is going to involve kicking back at or (to quote Big Hollywood) "soiling" the original forms. But so what? That's what change is built on. Fundamentally Big Hollywood doesn't like this because it's change, and it might involve bring social or political critique into (shock!) art. They should relax. The novel survived Dickens and Hardy, I'm sure the <a href="http://zedfbco.com">fasatny</a> genre will survive a bit of "gritty realism." (Also, American critics should remember that what is profanity in America is dinner table conversation in the UK, and expect different things of British authors).As an aside, I liked American Gods but I thought it was a huge drop in standard for Gaiman. The writing was pedestrian compared to his previous work.
