Literary Agent Andrew Wylie Socks it to Amazon in New Republic Article

I found it very interesting to see the publishing industry through the eyes of one of the most renowned literary agents of our time. There is a certain snobbery in his remarks, especially in the way he views genre or mass market fiction, but given his own background I can understand it and even give him kudos for making such a s success out of literary fiction, which as a former used bookstore owner, found it much harder to sell to the general population.

However, his explanation and comparison of Amazon owner, Bezos to megalomaniacs such as Napolean was priceless.

Please go read the interview by reporter Laura Bennett through this link: Andrew Wylie. I'd be very interested to hear what other authors, publishers and readers think about his remarks and the future of the publishing industry in general. I for one think there is still room for good publishers. Even small independents like Canterbury House.
