Praise for Big Fiction
“In Big Fiction, Dan Sinykin tells the messy, sprawling story of American publishing in the postwar era through the voices and memories of many of its major figures—editors, agents, executives, authors—creating a rich cultural history any observer of the current literary scene will learn from. . . . Big Fiction is provocative, smart, and disturbing; it deserves a big audience.” —Jess Row
“Sinykin writes with verve and narrative flair as he documents the consolidation of the major publishing houses—and, along the way, overturns the myth of ‘the romantic author,’ that lone genius unfettered by social circumstances or material constraints. . . . The result is a fascinating and informative account of the convulsions roiling the American publishing industry for the past half-century—and a devastating reckoning with the ways in which conglomeration has altered American fiction.” —Becca Rothfeld
