What makes a good lit blog

Nigel Beale, who seems to have both an inexhaustable interest in all things bookish as well as an unlimited flight pass with a major airline, interviews former Philly Inquirer books editor (and now Books Inq blogger) Frank Wilson on how the book world is shaping up in the age of the declining review section and the rise of the lit blog. The interview needed a bit of editing, I thought, but many of his ideas are gems and many more ring true, so it’s worth a full listen. And of course, he has great taste in blogs… I can’t remember if we linked earlier to Nigel interviewing Andre Alexis, but in case not, here it is.
