Halkin to authors: take a 100-year break

On his return from a book tour in America, author Hillel Halkin explores his nightmares of insignificance in The Jerusalem Post, wondering whether writing books — much less going on book tours — is even worth it anymore. “Why anyone continues to write books at all under such conditions is a good question. Presumably, it’s just a habit we can’t break. Indeed, it might be best at this point to declare a 100-year moratorium on all book writing so that readers can be given the opportunity to catch up with what’s already on the shelves.”
