The Novelists Guild of America strike isMAR 17 2008

The Novelists Guild of America strike is having no discernible impact on the nation.

"We must, as a people, achieve a resolution to this strike soon," novelist David Foster Wallace said at a rally Monday at Pomona College in Claremont, CA, where he is a professor. "The thought of this country being deprived of its only source of book-length fiction is enough to give one the howling fantods."

"I thank you both for coming," he added.
