For the last five years, David Ulin has been books editor of the LA Times, but that’s going to change. Today he announced that he’ll become the paper’s new full-time book critic, moving into that role once a new book editor takes over.
Who will that be? I don’t know.
I hope it’s someone who cares about criticism, about the fascinating changes in publishing, about LA’s community of readers and writers and about new media, in both its narrative potential and the wonderful changes it is bringing to book culture.
