Dispiriting & amusing to see a novel we passed on over two years ago (dull and poorly written in the main) feted by a publishing house we respected & now garnering rave reviews in the States.

Similar happened with an abysmal poetry collection we were sent. Won one of the top awards a few years back

Yet another run-in tonight with associates (a complete stranger this time) of an author that bad mouthed us all over town for the best part of a year—out of drug glutton induced paranoia.

The Manchester scene (one for the lolz) awash with the fawning, gullible, non-bright & hateful, who knew?

Correct

In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

Someone as bright and coherent an author as Iain McGilchrist shilling for the far-right bozo cult. Regurgitating their same old tired, lunatic drivel. Hapless
