Wanted: Local Literary Coverage
Just finished reading the Spring Books Issue of The Chicago Reader, and can't begin to describe how disappointed I am. (And I used to be a big fan, not to mention a paid contributor just last year.) A few author profiles, a few pages of reviews, and that's it. If this is any indication of the paper's content under their new ownership, I probably won't bother reading it any longer. Time for some other paper (say, Newcity Chicago, who just published their latest Lit 50 list) to step into the literary journalism void that the Reader appears to have vacated.
