Books Are You Worried About the Future of Publishing?

Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 12:37 PM

If so, Dave Eggers says you should e-mail him.

"I actually have established an e-mail address, deggers@826national.org—if you want to take it down—if you are ever feeling down, if you are ever despairing, if you ever think publishing is dying or print is dying or books are dying or newspapers are dying (the next issue of McSweeney's will be a newspaper—we're going to prove that it can make it. It comes out in September). If you ever have any doubt, e-mail me, and I will buck you up and prove to you that you're wrong."

I love Dave Eggers. My son has had great opportunities through 826 Seattle. Eggers could just be a great writer and publisher, but he puts tons of time and heart into helping kids. All that, and cute as a bug's ear, too!

I fucking hate Dave Eggers. Self-important asshole.

All that and a gangly dork, to boot.
