This is a wise and detailed analysis. As a book reviewer myself (Hispanic fiction in translation), I was particularly struck with the suggestion that we review Lit Mags. When does a lit mag ever get reviewed? I cannot think of any time, really, and that is not right. I am going to put more thought into this idea.

Brave and candid. So, Lit Mags offer a path to validation without offering readership. Probably "same as it ever was" (quote David Byrne). So in that case, what"s so funny 'bout self publication? (with deference to Nick Lowe..."what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?".
