☆ Opinion | A Chill Has Fallen Over Jews in Publishing
  + stars: | 2024-05-27 | by ( James Kirchick | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
This month, an account on X with the handle @moyurireads and 360 followers published a link to a color-coded spreadsheet classifying nearly 200 writers according to their views on the “genocide” in Gaza. Much of it revolves around the charge of genocide and seeks to punish Zionists and anyone else who refuses to explicitly denounce the Jewish state for allegedly committing said crime. Over the past several months, a litmus test has emerged across wide swaths of the literary world effectively excluding Jews from full participation unless they denounce Israel. This phenomenon has been unfolding in progressive spaces (academia, politics, cultural organizations) for quite some time. That it has now hit the rarefied, highbrow realm of publishing — where Jewish Americans have made enormous contributions and the vitality of which depends on intellectual pluralism and free expression — is particularly alarming.

"I didn't intend to go deep on the idea of service, but it's certainly as relevant today as ever," Gates wrote. 'The Women,' by Kristin HannahHannah's bestseller, released in February, is a work of historical fiction set during the Vietnam War. In his new book, Anderson argues "that we need to expand our definition of generosity," Gates wrote. "Oldman plays the head of Slough House, who's basically the polar opposite of James Bond," wrote Gates. "More than a guide to better conversations, it's a blueprint for a more connected and humane way of living," Gates wrote.

☆ Online-Books Lawsuit Tests Limits of Libraries in Digital Age

The Internet Archive, in San Francisco, lends digital versions of physical books it has scanned to readers worldwide. A federal judge on Monday will weigh pleas by four major book publishers to stop an online lending library from freely offering digital copies of books, in a case that raises novel questions about digital-library rights and the reach of copyright law that protects the work of writers and publishers. Nonprofit organization Internet Archive created the digital books, building its collection by scanning physical book copies in its possession. It lends the digital versions to readers worldwide, with more than three million digitized books on offer. Titles range from Stephen King ’s scary bestseller “It” to Kristin Hannah ’s historical novel “The Nightingale.”
☆ An audiobook narrator for authors like Margaret Atwood and Elena Ferrante says any self-starter can break into the field and make a lucrative living — but the work can be draining

Huber shared what goes into cultivating a career as a successful audiobook narrator. "I narrated a book and I read about three-quarters of it, and then I was like: 'You know, I'm good. "There's this idea among newer narrators that seasoned narrators are getting $600 an hour, and that is not the case. It's possible for an experienced audiobook narrator working full time to earn in the low six figures, Huber added. But even before considering that step, Huber suggested reading a book aloud for a long stretch.
