Summary

This quote highlights the difference in the way teenage readers and adult readers engage with authors they admire. Teenagers may have a more simplistic approach, valuing the author for their work without an interest in their personal lives or social media presence. The author uses Toni Morrison as an example, expressing love for her books but no desire to connect through Twitter or other online platforms. It suggests that teenage readers often prioritize the act of reading and appreciating the author's work, rather than seeking a deeper connection beyond the pages of a book.
