Okay, I have recently gotten in influx of theme novels...it's become increasingly apparent to me that our authors are all essentially inspired by the same narrow span of "stuff":
- Egyptologists
- Survivalists
- Dragons
- Rampant anti-abortion/fundamentalist Christian sentiments
- Self-Help
And Survivalists, you should know, seem to have quite the grudge against France. An unprecedented percentage of survivalist books I've edited have all (fictionally, of course) relegated France to a smoking mass, a cannibalistic terror zone, a desperate famine-ridden area.
I'm wondering if this is some kind of resentful, "they're not paying enough attention, so they'll be the first to go when the end of the world comes..." attitude.
Not, obviously, that the French care.
