Adam Rothstein said...: Yay! The internet IS magic! I wish more people would realize this, and start worshipping it the way they worship their cars, modern medicine, and dwarves. Keep writing about cooking and booking, Paula! I, anyway, actually find it quite entertaining to read, even though I don't know much about gastronomy.; 4/15/07, 11:22 PM

"For centuries the situation in literature was such that a small number of writers faced many thousands of times that number of readers. Then, towards the end of the last century, there came a change. As the press grew in volume, making ever-increasing numbers of new political, religious, scientific, professional and local organs available to its readership, larger and larger sections of that readership (gradually at first) turned into writers. It began with the daily newspapers opening their 'correspondence columns' to such people, and it has now reached a point where few Europeans involved in the labour process could fail, basically, to find some opportunity or other to publish an experience at work, a complaint, a piece of reporting or something similar. The distinction between writer and readership is thus in the process of losing its fundamental character. That distinction is becoming a functional one, assuming a different form from one case to to the next. "

--Walter Benjamin, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
