...novel to New Jersey for a radio drama. Listeners heard a news bulletin break into a music broadcast and describe a meteor that crashed near Princeton and spewed fire-breathing aliens. They didn't seem to hear the network announce four times that it was fiction...

Not to mention the proliferating literary output from the other side of the border with mainland China. Asian books are hot in the literary capitals of New York and London, and regional publishers are priming their presses for local...
