United Authors wants Amazon to leave the field
So they can score a touchdown...A gentle takedown of a letter to Amazon from Authors United. An excerpt: We, at Authors United, are better than people working in China. We're better than people who make toasters and televisions. We're special snowflakes, unique and quirky, and the lonely, intense struggle we endure for the sake of ART is much more difficult than coal mining or waitressing or mechanical engineering or brain surgery or conservationism or rocket science. If I ever reach this level of self-importance, I want someone to slap the shit out of me. Seriously. Slap me until I shit all over myself. It would be less embarrassing than agreeing with the above Authors United paragraph. When all you have to do to humiliate someone is hold up a mirror, it's time to stop making public statements.
