A female novelist would never enjoy a Franzen-scale frenzy of adulation in America, which maintains two distinct tiers in fiction. The heavy hitters – cultural icons who often produce great doorstop novels that no one ever argues are under-edited – are exclusively male. Rising literati like Rick Moody and Jonathan Franzen efficiently assume the spots left unoccupied by John Updike and Norman Mailer, like a rigged game of musical chairs. Then there's everybody else – including a raft of female writers who keep the publishing industry afloat by selling to its primary consumers: women.

From there, however, Shriver moves on to the subject of book covers, and in particular takes issue with the apparently compulsive need of her publishers to dress her books in "chick lit" covers.  As the title of her Guardian piece puts it, " I write a nasty book. And they want a girly cover on it." Shriver writes:

With merciful exceptions, my publishers constantly send prospective covers for my books that play to what "women readers" supposedly want. Take the American reissue of my fourth novel Game Control – a wicked, nasty novel about a plot to kill two billion people overnight. The main character is a man, the focal subject demography. Yet what cover do I first get sent? A winsome young lass in a floppy hat, gazing soulfully to the horizon in a windblown field – soft focus, in pastels.

There are complicated issues at work here--among other things, the tension between art and marketing.  Is a book cover's job to sell the book or is its job to tell you about the book?  Of course, the ideal answer is "both," but practically speaking, some books are hard to sum up in a cover.  On the other hand, it is difficult to see how a novel about a plot to kill 2 billion people overnight really cries out for floppy hats and soulful gazing. And more to the point, do those kinds of covers really sell books?  Not to this reader--but then, my epitaph could read, "Never a member of the target demographic."

I'm sure it's not any easier these days being Elizabeth Gilbert's ex-husband, but to make matters possibly more aggravating, his own book has hit a snag.  In a Page Six item from July, he said that he and publisher Hyperion "parted ways" over his book and that he is now shopping it elsewhere.

How not to pitch your manuscript (with thanks to Leslie Pietrzyk)

At once the funniest and most depressingly accurate take on book/author promo:

"You Tube. Of course! 'Cause you know, that's the dream, right? Twenty years ago when I wanted to become a writer, a big part of the dream was being able to put little videos on the Internet. That's it. That's why we do this."

The iPhone was introduced in 2007. In 2010, according to this NYT story, the App Store, for which no need existed three years ago, is expected to generate $1.4 billion.  The breathless anticipation and hype then, surrounding the widely-rumored Apple tablet device finally unveiled this week, isn't surprising and may even be warranted.  In particular, much hope is being pinned on the possibility that the tablet will be the platform that saves print, or more specifically that reverses the magazine and newspaper death spiral we've been witnessing for the past decade, which has accelerated with each year.

I am a big fan of Mac products--I made the switch from a PC about 6 years ago and never looked back, and in a household without cable, we all love our Apple TV for bringing us Mythbusters and Phineas and Ferb. Still, the problem I have with putting my faith and my reading future in digital devices is that in some fundamental ways, digital does not improve upon print on paper. Sure, it's all interactive and woo-hoo cool factor, but:

• if you drop your book in the bathtub, you can still read it
• a magazine never needs to be plugged in
• your book never overheats, and doesn't require a fan
• I have 25 years worth of back issues of the New Yorker under my bed and in boxes in the attic.  50 years from now, their "platform" (print on paper) will still be just as accessible as it is today, only maybe a little yellowed with age.  By contrast, have you ever tried plugging a 5.1/4" floppy disc in your circa 2009 computer?
• if the book I'm reading is lost, stolen, accidentally left behind on the subway, then the result is not that I have lost my entire library with it
• you can stuff a book or magazine into the bottom of a suitcase, drop it down the steps, spill coffee on it, write on it, fold back a page, tear out an article--and it still works!

The Junior Member of the Household and I went to the last Harry Potter book release.  There were probably 1,000 people, many of them kids, crammed into a suburban Barnes & Noble, all so eager to get their hands on the book that most people started reading it even as they were paying the cashier for their purchase.  It was an inches-thick tome, black text on cream paper.  A few pen & ink illustrations.  No slide shows, no interactive multimedia, no touch screens.  Just text on paper.
