Walter Kirn Zitate

One of the saddest things about publishing is how quickly it ages what it touches. The frenzy involved in getting books on shelves, and in putting the word out that they're there, moves at a speed that is not the speed of writing, let alone of reading.

Eine der traurigsten Sachen beim Publizieren ist, wie schnell es altert, was es berührt. Der Wahnsinn, der darin besteht, Bücher in Regale zu bekommen und zu sagen, dass sie da sind, bewegt sich mit einer Geschwindigkeit, die nicht die Geschwindigkeit des Schreibens oder gar das Lesen ist.

When I was first writing 'Feed' - which was the first book I published as Mira - I talked about it very openly on my blog, on Twitter, that I was writing this book, and it wasn't until after it was sold that I said 'Mira Grant' wrote this book. And the reason there was really purely marketing-based.
