New kid on the blog
Finding items for In Other Media just got a little bit easier, Brian Bethune, who has long covered the book beat for Maclean’s, has turned up on the magazine’s website with a new space called Bethune on Books. So far, there have been only three items, but they’ve been fairly entertaining. The first, from earlier this month, covered the Frey flap and the last two have been about what Bethune calls doom-lit. Bethune writes: “Since 9/11, of course, the usual suspects — the end of oil, nuclear disaster, Ebola epidemics, asteroid crashes, whatever — have had to share shelf space with terror scares. And the terror subgenre has now spawned a new sub-subgenre: worry over the death of Europe — literal, demographic or both.”
