Above all, it is so open that it feels liberating compared to the NYRblog. You can post a comment with no moderation and the author may even enter the discussion! Comparably speaking, the NYRblog is like a concentration camp: if you dare address Pico Iyer, a thug comes up and punches you in the stomach. I don't think Charles Simic, Pico Iyer, Tim Parks, or most of the writers have ever responded to any comment (Elizabeth Drew and Jeremy Bernstein have).<br /><br />As I said, though, I have become disaffected with literary journalism in general and am now leaning more towards scientific journalism. This may not appeal to a translator, but for the time being I'm finding it refreshing, and it's consistent with my recent interest in astronomy.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298717917068277282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906697713462162467.post-63919838370780973402014-01-24T11:43:36.240-05:002014-01-24T11:43:36.240-05:00I got into the habit of reading the NYRBlog only b...I got into the habit of reading the NYRBlog only because I followed your comments there.<br /><br />JohnJohn Penuelnoreply@blogger.com
