This isn't an article *by* Josipovici but a journalist who sensationalises some fairly straightforward statements. How can he mention a female novelist if he has no control over the content? For what it's worth, his new book places Muriel Spark at the head of post-War British novelists and chose Rosalind Belben's Our Horses in Egypt as one of his books of the year in the TLS.
And he does question whether those male authors mentioned in the article are the best writers in the country. This is the flamin' point of the article! Try reading his essays, reviews and many great novels he's written before you apply some journalist's venal spin to him.
