978　What genre? 什么文学题材？

While I was checking my e-mail, an instant message popped up on my screen, obviously sent to me in error. I chatted briefly with the sender, and it became clear we were both writers. “What genre?” I asked. The sender wrote back, “I'm female.”

我正在查电子邮件的时候，屏幕上蹦出一个即时的信息，显然是误发给我的。我和发信人简单聊了几句，发现我们俩都是作家。我问她：“什么文学题材？”回答：“我是女性。”（对方误以为是问什么gender，性别）
