A Roar of Literature

Peter Carey on the current state of fiction:

No one reads fiction anymore? Says who? We are living in the middle of a roar of literature. The national newspapers are performing the surgical removal of their book-review pages like slick lobotomies, but the fiction writers continue like so many thousands of song-and-dance Rasputins who refuse to die. They'll be there when we wake from this dark time and realize what all those "true stories" have really been.
