That's an interesting question. At first I thought, somehow, it was because Ursula Le Guin's a woman, but then where's the acceptance of Kate Wilhelm? Or Connie Willis, who's written such great short stories?
It's frustrating. I'm still waiting for the day when the mainstream critics realize how rigorous and brilliant Peter Straub's prose is.
