A big, irrelevant controversy over on the poetics list about the validity of blogs. Do they bring back the author in a reactionary way? Who cares? Isn't the pseudo-democratic rise of the reader the real problem anyway? Banal, narcissistic blogs wil be written by banal narcissists. If it doesn't interest you don't read it. I'll stick with my 30 readers.
