Surrounded as we are by so much crass commercialism, a publication with the stature of the Times bears some responsibility for supporting literature that enriches our world. Is the Review lazy or overly commercial itself?Jim Marquardtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671249594820130735.post-91836826724893738172009-11-01T13:09:47.153-05:002009-11-01T13:09:47.153-05:00Marty, this blog deserves a much wider audience.

Your anecdote about emailing Katherine Bouton is very revealing, and so is Suzie Tourscher's fact--"So far you are up by 71% for the year, which is unheard of in this economy." If anyone out there in the world of literary opinion-making needs proof of your credibility, there it is. You could touch a nerve with the very readers who are turning away from the traditional media and tenured opinion-makers, the people who are asking themselves, 'What gives THEM any authority?'I'm going to link to your column where I can.

Perhaps there's hope that someone, somewhere (or, as it appears, a lot of someones somewhere) are recognizing the value of saying something serious (as opposed to saying nothing).
