Thank you, Keir Graff
Jun. 11th, 2009 10:21 amFor summing up my thoughts on the subject:
"Aleksandar Hemon and Jacob Weisberg Not Quite on the Same Page"
http://blog.booklistonline.com/2009/06/03/aleksandar-hemon-and-jacob-weisberg-not-quite-on-the-same-page/
One of the panelists brought up a side note: "When discussion turned to “the public sphere,” Hemon and Weisberg disagreed on what we’re losing as channels multiply, audiences grow more selective, and, above all, people stay indoors. Hemon lamented the loss of common conversation..."
I lived next door to a couple from Georgia (Soviet Union) for a while; the lady was continually astonished by the lack of an outdoor, social communal life in our neighborhood-- which was, being lower middle class, more social than most. I personally blame air conditioning for this trend. :)
I am so sick of “death of publishing” articles, so tired of talking about the ridiculously oversimplified “print versus web” argument that I could spit.
