Notice how David turns logic on its head.<BR/>I and my pals are shut out by the system. We're SHOWN no respect.<BR/>"Gossip Girl" and similar books- unredeemable junk-- can be found in every chain bookstore in America. The hosannas to privilege and hyper-wealth are everywhere-- shown EVERY respect, as New York's cover story shows.<BR/>Hey! Some guy in Detroit is speaking out against this!<BR/>He's showing us no respect!<BR/>Us! We great people who control print culture.<BR/>Well, david, this just can't be tolerated.<BR/>next someone might want to publish books illustrating the true story of America; maybe talking-- gulp!-- about the vast 1789-like divide that's expaning by the moment.<BR/>The rich are getting richer and ever more arrogant, demanding worship. The poor are more downtrodden. <BR/>Shoot the messenger-- it's all my fault!King Wenclashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709139159194279478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-47599933623919187362008-05-01T08:39:00.000-07:002008-05-01T08:39:00.000-07:00If it's disconnected itself from the nation, why d...If it's disconnected itself from the nation, why do the Gossip Girl books and TV show reach millions and millions of people? You rail against literary fiction, which reaches nobody, and against pop culture, which reaches everybody, and mainstream fiction, which reaches a number somewhere in between. Seems like anything but your own writing and a (shrinking) handful of your pals is worthy of any respect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084551238060123647noreply@blogger.com
