"To me, writing is a labor of love, a daily valentine to the power and legacy of the printed word.I am a literary author and I take one look at the sub-literate crap clogging the marketplace thanks to dim-witted editors and greedy agents and feel nothing but disgust for the state of the industry.Instead of seeking out the next DeLillo or Pynchon, the trads are churning out vampire porn, sucky memoir" . . . .
