Let’s hear it for Edith! Put your hands together and offer up applause for that saddest, most depressing creature, the forgotten writer. Let’s hope that posterity is kind to her and that her works achieve a new audience in the years ahead…
Pleased to meet, Mr. Burns.

Some writers don’t deserve to escape oblivion–there’s a special ring in hell waiting for people like Dean Koontz, Nora Roberts, fiction factories, hacks and those who do dishonor to the printed word.
I sort of wrote about that here.
