. . . i guess i’m compelled to answer ben’s first comment, here . . .if corporate publishers are not engaging in any marketing research, how do we know that roughly %80 of literary fiction consumers are college educated women? how do we know that men read almost exclusively non-fiction, with a particular taste for historical? why do we have bookscan (for all it’s flaws and inaccuracies, and why do publishers treat those numbers as though they are prescriptive? . . . sounds like marketing research to me . . .

I wish today’s writers would spend a bit of their ego-manaic time kissing Salters feet. As readers, we would benefit greatly from any crumbs they bother to pick up while they are down there.

. . . i love the way you write, adam . . . you were the first guy i ever hit up for a blurb, and you were kind enough to do it knowing that the novel (lulu) didn’t even have a home yet . . . which makes you both a prince and an immense talent . . .

Maria, this is the first Salter I have read, I was very impressed with what I have been missing. I found the Barcelona story a lesson in how to write.
