I was offended by male literacy teachers (non) reactions to what is a horrendous story. Mystery stories: I am a fan of some writers. They are an important genre for several reasons. 1) A clear moral--they are mortality tales. 2) A puzzle that is solved. 3) They are about marginality, life at the edges that exists and is punished, condoned, whatever. As such they show the rough underbelly of whatever culture they describe. I look forward to hearing from you again. Andrea
