There is no such thing as bad publicity.
There are readers that will buy romance that wouldn't touch chick-lit.
Plus the "feud" got her coverage in Harpers. Without that I would never have heard of her, much less under such a favorable light: anybody who annoys Franzen must be one of the good guys.
