Paixão pelos livros, sim senhor; mas há limites para a estupidez (diz o Agent Orange)

O blog do Agent Orange (um agente literário cuja identidade é apenas conhecida de muito poucos) regressa para colocar questões importantes aos editores: 

«It’s all very well banging on about the “passion” for books that people in publishing have, but if that isn’t backed up by courageous and clear-sighted leadership, talk of passion increasingly seems like code for stupidity—or the sort of thing you tell the children.

It is easy to point the finger at the big, bad wolf. Publishing needs to take a longer, harder look at its own complicity in its troubles and direct some of that blame inwards as well as outwards.»
