Why are there so many celebrity romance novelists in 80s media? Was the genre more popular then, and if so why?
Post Body
The figure of the celebrity romance novelist seems unusually common in 80s movies (e.g., Romancing the Stone or Troop Beverly Hills), and even some 80s fiction uses the idea, like Elizabeth Peters’s Jacqueline Kirby novels. Writers love writing about writers, but this seems very distinctive. Was this a real phenomenon?Did the genre experience a spike in popularity? If so, why?
