When we visit a new city, tourist guides encourage us to get to know it by walking, and suggest good routes for exploring, interesting places to see, nice spots to rest and find refreshment. Walking may seem as if it’s too fundamental to human life to have a history, yet this whole way of behaving, of enjoying a city by passing through it on foot, is far from timeless.

Writers are worried. They are aware of their position as members of a cultural coterie involved in a relatively elite system of production, which often comes with privileged access to space and financial and intellectual resources. Consider writing grants, for example, which enable writers to write funded and uninterrupted in remote locations. Then there is the massive scale of influence that comes with letting your work be promoted by global publishing giants.

Like many writers, I have campaigned to defend it, writing letters, speaking at public events, and participating in protests and meetings. So I was not best pleased to find myself named by The Atlantic (a monthly magazine) as an authoritarian bully who has participated in a “merciless” campaign to intimidate other writers into silence.
