Narrator: Mike Lenz
In the late 1950s, Random House editor Jason Epstein would talk jazz with Ralph Ellison or chat with Andy Warhol while pouring drinks in his office. By the 1970s, editors were poring over profit-and-loss statements. The electronics company RCA bought Random House in 1965, and then other large corporations purchased other formerly independent ✅Publishers. As multinational conglomerates consolidated the industry, the business of literature-and literature itself-transformed. Dan Sinykin explores how changes in the publishing industry have affected fiction, literary form, and what it means to be an author.
