it's not pete epstein's song

OK, I kinda understand where he's coming from but, really, all I can think to say to Terry Pratchett is, "dude, bitter much?" There's a valid point or two in there, but if you're mostly gonna come off as just angry that your books haven't taken the world by storm and that you're not the richest woman in Britain (when you're so clearly more deserving), well maybe it would've been a better idea to not say anything. On the other hand, I appreciate that writers (some of them at least) are among the last creative types who don't seem to have their every utterance pre-approved by a committee of publicists.

although i do think that rowling's grooming has been overseen by a bevy of publicists. she just looks way too perfect.

It's not Irving's song!

It reminds me that extremely whiny essay A.S. Byatt wrote in the Times. It was basically a red-faced, foot-stamping, breath-holding rant about how wrong, wrong people are to buy Rowling's books instead of Byatt's.
