Yes, please talk about publishers pushing agendas and giving people trash to appease their thirst. Sounds harsh but it's reality. I feel like it reflects the state of the world and how gone we are as a society. And it's not to judge anybody and their tastes. Sometimes I like trash books, trash tv, etc. But to the extent where it hinders an important piece of work out there from being published is a problem.
Exactly. The idea that publishers exist to push literature forward is laughable. They're a business that exists solely to make money, which is why I'm firmly of the belief that creatives who aspire to write literary fiction that pushes the boundaries (whether they succeeded or not with this is irrelevant) should go independent and publish what they want without begging for corporate approval.
