Would someone please tell Noah Richler to shut the fuck up? Nasal cluelessness about a “debacle” in Canadian publishing – really rather ought to be taken care of by now, old bean – alongside the precious, sticky-sweet anglophilia, on top of last week’s wrong-and-strong misread of the devastation being brought by the sudden bookselling monopoly. Literary editor my ass. Book-launch editor. Press-release glancer. Blurb-retyper.
And in Australia, “A crass, confusing and expensive government sop to a devastated book industry.”
