Turow's anecdote about the difficulties of writers in Russia rubs me the wrong way. He asserts basically that writers in Russia no longer have the influence they once had because there are few remaining publishers, plus rampant piracy of e-books.
I haven't been to Russia, but nonetheless wouldn't a more plausible reason be that culture and technology have changed, and people have more ways to entertain themselves and stay informed than just reading?
