Listen to this episode from Future Knowledge on Spotify. In Big Fiction, author and Emory University professor Dan Sinykin examines how decades of mergers and acquisitions have transformed the publishing industry, and how those changes have shaped what it means to be an author. Sinykin explores the rise of the “Big Five” publishing houses, the pursuit of blockbuster titles, and what the consolidation of publishing means for the books we read and the culture they create. Joining Sinykin in conversation is humanities scholar Ted Underwood.Grab your copy of Big Fiction: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/big-fiction/9780231192941/ This conversation was recorded on 5/9/2024.Check out all of the Future Knowledge episodes at https://archive.org/details/future-knowledge
