Why would I trust or want to read anything published by any house that would sign-on to something like this?
People who sign such things identify themselves as members of the Soviet Writer’s Guild. They are not worth reading.
Oy! Such a surprise!

At some point, the entire “intelligentsia” has got to go.
Ok, so what about the administration with a DOJ that failed to prosecute the largest theft of all time under the caption of “too big to fail”, presided over the largest increase of actual for realsies slavery under a disastrous foreign policy that destabilized the Middle East while assassinating the leader of an African country, Libya? How about the administration that put in place the rules that caused doctors to give out opioids like candy, and then let case after case get squelched without lifting a finger to address the problem, literally looking the other way in West Virginia? But oh wait, they did and do get book deals. Why is that? I mean, if this is supposed to be about virtue and all rather than snobbery?
Modern day Nazi book burners....
I’ve noticed for some time the rise of crazy fringe people getting all kinds of book deals while publishing, and the arts becoming ever more dreary and propagandistic. What I would like to see is art and craft rather than political slant and identity as relevant criteria for publishing once more. Publishing’s house has been on fire for a while, thanks in large part to Amazon. If they insist on publishing divisive fringe crap because it sells and helps keep the bills paid, it seems a little inconsistent that they are getting all holy and righteous now. They have done their deal with the devil, and they publish swill.
