Enjoyed this very much (and special thanks for the Mir reference!) but want to comment that while print may distance readers from authors, those readers hear voices on the page: those pesky characters who yell a lot and beg the reader's attention and court their continued engagement from book to book. I know this, because readers tell me so. And because all the novelists I know depend on it. Print may not be "oral" but it's definitely *not* silent.
