The Los Angeles Times:

for all their enthusiasm, can a group of dedicated amateurs really make a difference in the success of a book? Publishers think they can. Mulholland's Parker points to Kathleen Kent and her novel "The Heretic's Daughter," set in 17th century Salem, Mass. "As a debut author with a historical fiction novel that had a connection to her personal story, she really struck a chord with bloggers," she says, adding that Kent "really benefitted from blogger outreach."

Jason Pinter: Death of the Literati: Good Riddance to Closed-Mindedness

The Literati have been dividing literary culture for years, decrying popular fiction, dismissing authors, genres and authors exploring new media. And by doing so they have journeyed far, far away from the realm of relevancy.

THIS guy's belongs to one of those "literary" sites:

i havnt read the whole book, JUST PAGE 6 (on this site) which was filled with numerous spelling mistakes, made up words (that have no meaning, even in context they make no sence) and basic writing mistakes. it shows that this author has no respect for the reader as it cant have been even slightly edited from the original version.

He belonged to a clique that thought some smarmy English dude was the alpha & omega of all things literary..and if you compare HIS review of ONE PAGE to those who READ THE WHOLE BOOK the difference is amazing!

Alas, J. Keogh IS representative of the next generation of readers, therefore there will be no more Joyces, Hardys, Faulkners, etc. in the future, and the next Bill Shakespeare better take a lot of shop classes in high school, because there there is no market for LITERARY genius.
