What do you think about the changing interaction between writer and reader?

Click on the link below and read Ghosh's blog about how literary festivals and other public engagements are changing the ways in which writers and readers interact, and the implications for their roles in the writing / reading process.   Personally, I cherish meeting writers and every chance I get I like my students to meet with them, too.   Our first Trinidad and Tobago literary festival (Bocas Lit Fest 2011) was an awesome experience.

However, Ghosh raises some valid points.   What is your response to what he says?
