Book publishing was never a heaven run by editors, and it is by no means today a hell run by accountants. If our sole interest was instant profit, not only would we never do any number of the things we actually do every day, we probably wouldn't be in book publishing at all.

So many people's school experience contains at least one instance of being looked down upon because they didn't care for one or more of the sacred mutant outcroppings of High Modernism, and they concluded from this that Literature is all about impenetrable stuff that they don't like. That damn Hemingway with his crazy free verse.

Quote of the day

Diane Ackerman
