Last week, Ruth Graham over at Slate wrote the ultimate literary click-bait article, complete with inflammatory headline, "Against YA: Read whatever you want. But you should feel embarrassed when what you're reading was written for children." Read it if you dare; I especially like the parts where she confuses children with teens (i.e. The Hunger Games Trilogy is decidedly not for children), and when she blames adult consumption of YA literature on millenials, because their young adulthood extends into the 30s. The timing was either deliberate or fortuitous, as the article dropped amid the week-long "Fault in Our Stars" movie premier hoopla. Naturally, bloggers and writers from NPR, NPR again, the Atlantic, the Hairpin, etc. etc responded mostly in the form of strong disagreement.
