Sometimes I do wonder if the people who are going all Ayn Rand about other peoples' jobs and existence take the same cold, hard look at their own jobs.
All the same, I do believe that major advances for authors who aren't in blockbuster territory were a rather recent phenomenon and couldn't be expected to last. Authors are caught in the same development that sees a widening gap between the super-rich and what used to be comfortably middle class.
I also wonder why an author who isn't that well known believed that he should be able to run a separate office in one of the world's most expensive cities.
