British columnist: What happened to literary blogging?

"Blogging, I hoped, would prove to be the start of a renaissance in long form critical writing […] Then along came Twitter. And, fairly quickly, that blog article linking to another blogger's excellent article on X, Y or Proust, never came to be written."




So Says Guardian columnist Mark Thwaite.

Still--Proust? Even 140 characters of detailed Proust analysis is sometimes too much.
