Abstract
An essay in the form of a letter to an undergraduate student writer-editor who reacts with horror and sadness to the abundant evidence of crass marketing in book publishing, even literary publishing. Advice about the endless struggle of serious art and sophisticated publishing to prevail despite the burden of mind numbing popular culture; and about the irony that yesterday’s pop culture books can become today’s serious, respected classics.
