- really tickled to see that “everything is totally random in publishing”, “publishers don’t know anything”, and “agents have all the power because they don’t pay for lunch” were just not the airtight arguments that PRH/S&S thought they were ✨ nytimes.com/2022/10/31/boo…
- "They were perplexing thefts, lacking a clear motive or payoff, and they happened in the genteel, not particularly lucrative world of publishing" -- love to see a breaking news article that also immediately drags this industry lol
