The four-day January writing seminar has gotten more electronic ink than any recent travel-writers’ gathering I can recall. Thomas Swick blogged about it here. We noted a newspaper column about it. And now Rolf Potts has offered his own take. He had a grand time, but he had a few critical words, too. “I’d reckon that one weakness of the seminar was a total lack of political diversity among the panelists,” he writes. “At times, the panel discussions came off sounding like another episode of ‘Liberals Being Self-Congratulatory’ (the longest-running show in American letters).”
