You start a work of fiction by an author of a particular gender, and at some point you realize that the narrator is a person of a different gender. How do you feel about that?

@gleick@mas.to It's all a matter of context, isn't it?
Take twentieth century pulp. Men who wrote science fiction for decades? Ummm. Probably not good at all, and will be cringe.
Women who wrote science fiction? Even if someone felt "tricked" by Andre Norton, it didn't make the story less interesting at all.

I think this poll really needs answers that specify the gender of the person answering
Because I think that is the crux of the biscuit, as Frank Zappa would say
