is it over....?https://antipodes.substack.com/p/2028-is-when-traditional-publishing
>>25265141They've been quietly killing literary fiction for decades, though. >Publishing isn’t “woke.”Stopped reading there. It is. Capitalism and "woke" aren't mutually exclusive. Blackrock is proof positive of that.
>>25265141Not reading your substack
>>25265156crapitlists only care about making a profit, so they saw all these woke people and wanted their money.simple asnow thats over, the substack even mentions publishing might go right wing if you had kept reading
>>25265160There's no difference between woke in practice and woke in idealogy, because woke is not an idealogy, it is only a practice. I don't care what you go on to mention when your basic understanding of the situation is so fundamentally flawed.
>>25265201you are just be a stubborn ass about this, cant wrap your head around how evil crapitlism is can you, there is some hidden agenda or something.nope, they just wanted money
>>25265160>publishing might go right wingPublishing will not go right wing the same way it did not go left wing. There is a comfortable middle ground of Christfags, succdems, RINOs, Zionists and other useful idiots who are politically worthless but make up a large majority of the lowest common denominator. This is who publishers will target because they are a business.
>>25265141title has LLM smell, i checked a couple paragraphs further in and they do tonot reading your slop
>>25265210You're a tedious little faggot.
>>25265210You either didn't read my post or you have near-zero reading comprehension and lack the capacity for critical thought. Either way l, I won't be reading the rest of your article, particularly after your insistence on that junior high school neologism, equally juvenile affinity for socialism/communism, and your brain-dead reduction of monetary policy to good vs. evil. You're an idiot in the classical sense of the word.
>>25265141>to quietly killThis substack writer is quietly killing literature
they should put it out of its misery t b h
look at the literary fiction that comes out these days. how much of that do u really want to read urself? martyr by kaveh akbar? james by percival everett? whenever i see any of those awards medallions on the cover of a book i just know the kind of slop it is and lose all interest.
>One of the most impactful and famous bestsellers of all time was written by a right-wing white man, a veteran with a flair for political speech. No publisher would want to miss out on the next book like that.what is he talking about here?
All the publishers got together at their secret meeting and decided that they will be killing "literary fiction" in one fell swoop on a particular day.It has to be a particular day, otherwise you, the victim, wouldn't feel the sense of urgency. Things wouldn't just slide away gently in slow longterm plans would they? That's boring and doesn't fit in my narrative framework. Things must happen like a movie. 2028. They're coming for your books.
>>25266059yeah i skimmed it but it was pretty dumb. especially where he said publishers already killed epic fantasy because season six of game of thrones was bad or something. it's like ok, tell that to the assholes who keep making fantasy threads on /lit/ every day.
>>25265141Video games, porn and Netflix subscriptions and a shit public education systemIts was over before it began.
>>25266064I didn't even read it. I felt comfortable writing it off on the headline alone. Thank you for confirming my biases for me. Bold work to brave the retard mines.
>>25266064>publishers already killed epic fantasylol do they really believe that? Whenever I go to b&n the fantasy section is always stocked to the brim with massive, forest-consuming, catsquasher tomes. Pretty sure that the last brando stormlight novel sold, like, millions.
>>25266087well to be fair i guess the argument was that the publishing industry isn't going to invest in building up anymore rockstar tier fantasy authors. they're just gonna let the current stars burn out and not replace them. then again i just skimmed it, but i think that was the point of that part. personally, i think there is only so much space at the top and when one of those guys falls, a new one will take his place.
>>25265201hahahahahahavery good! very good indeed! hahaha
>>25266043>james by percival everettHow the fuck is this literary fiction? Copypasting Huck Finn? Look out for my sensational literary fiction, it's rewriting Treasure Island but it's a mulatto girl with a peg leg who is lesbian. WOAH

>>25266054A very obtuse-reference to Céline?
>>25265141printing fiction is a waste of paper
>>25265141this is literary fiction that describes what the world will be like in a few years through the eyes of a spec ops soldier from a country not unlike the united states of the 2000's infiltrating that future world. as the series goes on, it explores what would happen if a country like the united states of the 2000's were to invade the future and try to take it back
>>25266299i thought maybe norman mailer but idk
>>25265141Michael O’Church is still ass blasted his book wasn’t published. I remember his posts fantasizing about his sales, bragging about how great a writer he is, etc. When none of that happened he dumped his book online.https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/85592/farisas-crossing/chapter/1611641/1-the-fire
>>25266054Ernst Jünger or Hitler
>>25266990Kurt, for how long do you plan to keep shilling this?
