Well, the good news is that, after several attempts by fans, followed by several failures to stick, it looks like LROD is finally on Wikipedia to stay. The bad news is that the description fails to mention how hospitable we ultimately were: (1) we promoted, read, and discussed Darin Strauss' novel and that he did point out in the Village Voice that we were on friendly terms (though the journalist chose not to include that fact); (2) we welcomed and featured Scott Snyder's new short story collection; and (3) we had a fruitful series of discussions with Ted Genoways after VQR readers' comments were made public and Genoways apologized (sort of).
Oh well. it doesn't matter if we're misunderstood; we still know who we are; right, mice? At least they mentioned the GAK awards.
And Names don't matter?
ReplyDeleteDarin Strauss, Scott Snyder, Ted Genoways. Your claim to fame!
Wow, I had no idea I had wandered into such a hotbed of controversy!
