Today's quote:

"As a result of rapidly accelerating globalization we are moving toward a world market for literature. There is a growing sense that for an author to be considered 'great,' he or she must be an international rather than a national phenomenon. This change is not perhaps as immediately evident in the US as it is in Europe, thanks to the size and power of the US market..." ~ Tim Parks, "The Dull New Global Novel" (New York Review of Books)
