[…] Once More With Feeling: The LATBR Publishes Its Last (Kassia Krozser, Booksquare) … I still maintain that a book review section in a major newspaper should be reflective of the subscriber base, even if it’s trying to maintain a certain level of discourse; you have to bring the larger audience in, even a little bit, if you want to expose your conversation beyond the choir.

A belated thank you to those who suggested sites and blogs where I might find titles from other countries. I suggest a terrific novel, SAMIRA AND SAMIR by Siba Shakib to all of you. It’s the story of a tribal chieftain in the Hindu Kush, who raises his daughter as a boy, in order that he, the chieftain keep the respect of his tribe. The people in my book groups loved it. It’s particualrly timely because of the setting. Check supplemental information on my Web site.

Kassia, thanks for your kind comment in my post. I hit “post” on that thing with great dread that I would ruin my book reviewing career forever (sorry Sir Wasserman) and piss off someone who might very well be a like-minded soul (you). Nonetheless the rant was too good not to post. I just stared, aghast, at the interview. Maybe you did do a fantastic job, as many of your commenters say here, but they sure edited it to make you look like a small fry next to Wasserman’s pontificating B.S. I’ll save my breath ‘splaining my take on the whole thing, which reminded me of nothing more than a staged cage match–here’s my full rant, as a former writer for, and fan of, the LATBR–and also as a champion of internet publishing: http://la.metblogs.com/2008/07/29/the-vast-democracy-wall-that-the-internet-provides-vs-the-la-times-book-review-rip/
