    • 1997, Mats Gellerfelt, “Litteraturen har blivit en hopplös del av välfärdssystemet”, in Svenska Dagbladet, page 26:
      Begrepp som ”publik” och ”läsare” har avfärdats och avfärdas som ”kommersialism”, och det är ingen hejd på dvärgalåten hos författare som skrivit samma roman i decennier utan att nå någon publik, när de konfronteras med marknadens realiteter.
      Concepts such as "audience" and "readers" have been dismissed as "commercialism", and there is no stopping the criticism from writers who have written the same novel for decades without reaching any audience, when confronted with the realities of the market.
