So many books

Courtesy Galleycat, here's a nice piece in the Village Voice on independent publishers Soft Skull, Akashic Books, and others.

An article in Sunday's Guardian, an essay asks whether large advances and the resulting high expectations are ruining both the careers of young writers and the quality of published novels. (The piece features a list of Booker Prize winners, plus several which were "pipped to the post" -- which I discovered means "narrowly defeated").
