While it's easy to see what relevance this may have to those
of you in Rara-Avis, I'm aware that Block isn't exactly the
kind of author we discuss in Horrabin Hall. Still, it's quite
a provocative little piece that may be of interest.
I found lines like "Unless you count Saint Paul, book tours
are a recent phenomenon" quite delightful, and Block's
comments about mercenary collectors quite on the money.
Still, he does sound a bit harsh here, and personally, I like
my books signed and with my name on it. In any case: http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0417/essay.php
