Editor's Disclaimer
To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.
“If I'm being honest, half the books we publish as 'literary fiction' are just expensive therapy sessions for MFA graduates that somehow convinced marketing they're the next Franzen. We price them at $28 hardcover, print 3,000 copies, and pretend we're shocked when 2,400 come back as returns.”
