As the recession tightens around the writing world, the online current affairs publication Truthdig is holding a special bazaar to raise money to pay the all-star list of authors who write for the site.
Among the items for sale: three books by Truthdig editor Robert Scheer bundled with a documentary DVD, Mr. Fish cartoon prints, and autographed books straight from Gore Vidal’s library.
“You will enjoy the books and DVD almost as much as we will welcome the infusion of scarce capital to pay our staff and writers like Chris Hedges, Gore Vidal, Sarah Stillman, Scott Ritter and Bill Boyarsky.”
