Literature can and will go on without my mass blurbing. |
Ms. Glass told us she had not been able to read any of the nominated books because she'd been too busy blurbing. |
Malcolm Gladwell, a noted and talented endorser, pointed out this self-aggrandizing side of blurbing when I reached him. |
Another asked if I was working on a project about blurbing every book published for a year. |
I feel ambivalent about this evolution, but between reviewing, blurbing occasionally, and keeping up with what's out there on general principle I don't often get around to touching base with the literary canon. |
Careful readers will notice that, in the middle of the review, there is a lovely, entirely positive sentence, suitable for back-cover blurbing! |
