Jane Smiley and Dead Beat Spreading Viruses




So Jane Smiley has been reading Dead Beat (see I Bet You Can’t Repeat The Title Of This Blog) and pilfering his ideas. "The novel is like a virus," she said, "it moves silently around a culture; it either takes hold, or it doesn't."


Well never mind. Dead Beat reads Jane Smiley and has no problem pilfering her ideas about form.


Go ahead, read her. Learn a thing or two.


Oops, did I just spread a virus?
