Another Side-Comment from the New York Times Book Review
From a review of the book Nine, by Andrzej Stasiuk:
"This book reminds us how much bland fiction we publish in the English-speaking world. Our cultural hegemony has its downside; our imagination is increasingly filtered through the marketing lens of escapist genre fiction, and our so-called literary novels often feel like rehashed classics brazenly trumpeted as original work."
- Irvine Walsh, "Warsaw Underground" New York Times Book Review, June 10, 2007, p.9.
