Grayson’s Report on the NBCC Panel

by Bud Parr

“What he [Steve Wasserman] dislikes about the Internet is that its neat aesthetics confer an unearned authority on the scribblings of ranters. You used to be able to tell a ‘nutter’ by the bizarre formatting of addressing on their envelopes, their disregard for margins, their crazy scrawl. It was so much easier in the old days to spot an unhinged person. Now the Internet makes it harder to tell; all opinions, at first glance, appear equal. This is terrifying, so you’ve got to read online stuff carefully.”

Richard Grayson, reporting on the Grub Street 2.0: The Future of Book Coverage
