Jaime Green makes her debut in The Book Review this week. I started writing about romance novels not to review them, but to explore how they fit into the world — culturally and politically. First, to look for books that are worth talking about — because they’re great, because they’re interesting or because they’re important. The Times covering romance is an important recognition that these books are a vital part of literary culture. Some readers stick to romance, but plenty of romance readers — including myself — read it among many other genres.
