520    "In the late 1950s, Random House editor Jason Epstein 
       would talk jazz with authors like Ralph Ellison while 
       pouring drinks in his office. By the late 1960s, he was 
       poring over profit-and-loss statements. What happened? 
       Beginning in 1965 after RCA bought Random House and then 
       with subsequent purchases of publishing companies by 
       multinational conglomerates, the business of publishing 
       started to change. With more of an emphasis on 
       rationalization, many publishers began to focus on genre 
       and brand name authors. However, amidst a changing 
       marketplace, other publishers found new avenues and 
       possibilities to publish literary and experimental 
       fiction. In Big Fiction, Dan Sinykin examines how changes 
       in the publishing industry affected fiction and literary 
       form. Beginning with RCA's purchase of Random House in 
       1965 to the invention of the Amazon Kindle in 2007, 
       Sinkyin reveals how power situated in multinational media 
       conglomerates and disseminated through the book publishing
       industry has influenced what kind of fiction and authors 
       get published. In considering how publishers pursued 
       profits and prestige, Sinykin examines four different 
       sectors of the industry: mass market books and the rise of
       superstar authors such as Danielle Steel; the changing 
       focus of Random House as a trade publisher; the rise of 
       nonprofits such as Graywolf; and the employee-owned 
       Norton. He also considers how women and writers of color 
       navigated shifts in the publishing industry and 
       allegorized their experiences in their fiction"--
