WHY IS THIS MAN PUBLISHING THROUGH X-LIBRIS?
I have my review of Lawrence Richette's latest novel now up at both

and

The question is why the best American novelist isn't being published by the machine. He's tried to access it. Questions are raised about the System's aesthetics and tastes, and the role played by the "Buddy System" in American letters.

I'm told that a lot is happening courtesy of ULA madman Frank Walsh over at

possibly related to the discussion that's been happening at this place. I plan to take a look.

The literary rebellion lives!

Maybe the reason Richette is publishing through Xlibris is because the only review on the book's Amazon site ("Richette has written his indisputable masterpiece--the only great American novel of this appalling century") is written by, er, Lawrence Richette?

Also, a novel about a screenwriter? Hard to believe you like a book about the elite this much, Karl.
