Carole Maso (Gegel)

"The future of literature. The death of the novel."

The novel is dying. The books I love are becoming obsolete. As a collector, writer, and potential seller of (real, as in paper) books, this is a truly intimidating prospect. Even more frightening, what will our children read? Video game captions? The books of our youth--Curious George, The Lorax, and, for me Good Dog, Carl--will have no place in our children's lives. I, for one, will not help the book die. I will hang on to my love for the paper book as long as I can.
