Perhaps I should spend more time in the supermarket? Tell me, Adrian, who is the elite? I know plenty of elites who seem to be remarkably poorly informed. Who are you referring to? And what do they read? And anyway, what's wrong with just picking up a bloody book? Or going out there and finding out for yourself - my preferred method? But a final question. Why is it that in the USA there are loads of quality journals and here, in the UK, we have extremely little. We've got the LRB... and what else? Why don't we have a New Yorker equivalent or a New York Review of Books (still better than the LRB, I'm afraid) or a Nation? Does this say more about our audiences or more about the market, or both?
