The Golden Age for Writers
..is right now
By Stephen Marche
Esquire
December 2012 issue
Writers have always been whiners. For nearly a hundred
years, since at least the time of F. Scott Fitzgerald,
the death of the novel has been presaged. And now, egged
on by BuzzFeed and video games and just general
hypercaffeinated, e-mail-all-the-time ADHD, the book is
apparently, finally, about to die. At least we'll have
good stuff to read while we wait. This fall alone, the
number of big books published by major writers is
astounding: Michael Chabon, Zadie Smith, Junot Díaz,
Martin Amis, Ian McEwan, Salman Rushdie, and about a half
dozen others. Not that the list has stopped anyone from
complaining. Literary circles have been so full of pity
for so long that they can't accept the optimistic truth:
We're living in a golden age for writers and writing.
