Where Frank Wilson’s Calling From
Wellington Leg: Tomorrow is Frank Wilson’s last day at the Philadelphia Inquirer. About a year ago Frank gave me a shot at reviewing Natsuo Kirino’s novel GROTESQUE for the paper. It was quite a break for your reporter who got another lucky break a few months later in my other job. Does luck beget luck?
There are voices more eloquent than mine saying farewell to Frank and his one man Age of Reason revival over at Books Inq. The blog belongs to the Inquirer so I imagine that someone will carry on because they don’t toss newspapers on your doorstep anymore. Even the Wellington Leg Intelligencer is a virtual reality a power failure away from oblivion.
Frank turned fights into discussions no mean feat these days. He turned bloggers into reviewers, shone a light on dark corners of the book world. I hope retirement includes blogging for Frank a blog to read every day just like the Philly blog.
