I am intrigued by this video.
If we cannot get people of the current time aesthetic to sit still for a class, how do we get them to sit for a complete novel? This is interesting, but I'm not certain that I am convinced. For one thing, I do not accept that there is any single vector for the epidemic of the dropout phenomenon. If this is true, for instance, why is it that the most dynamic and growing segment of book sales is YA?
Food for thought, though.
