I have never been more disillusioned with traditional publishing. On the journalistic side, the gate keeping and irresponsible editorial bias of the NYT and their ilk. The inability to face reality. And on the literary side, the power imbalances that have and will always enable men like Neil Gaiman while ignoring other writers. The way young black authors are kept out of publishing. The book deals that go to influencers whose ghostwriters pump out the same self help bullshit again and again.

Not sure if you've seen the film 'American Fiction', which came out last year, but it tackles this head on.
