Literary life and death

Bob Cox sent along This Story that takes a very different look at \”Double Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper\” by Nicholson Baker.

I know, you\’re probably about sick of hearing about this book, but this story is very different. The author worries that this influential book will lead us to consider the concept of the life cycle of literature in unhelpful ways.

\”Rather than join Baker in mourning the long dead, we should draw attention to and drum up support for efforts to keep books alive, if only momentarily.\”
