How Big Will the Biggest U.S. Publisher Be?
"The Biden administration is suing to block Penguin Random House from buying Simon & Schuster....By far the biggest publisher in the United States, Penguin Random House has more than 90 imprints and releases about 2,000 books a year. If the merger happens, it will gain Simon & Schuster’s 30-plus imprints and its roughly 1,000 titles a year. The combined company would produce a disproportionate percentage of the top-selling books, industry analysts say."

What Sparks Poetry:
Silvina López Medin on Susana Thénon's Ova Completa
"This book questions systems of faith and is also, among many other things, something of a search for ways 'to believe'....There must be way out, an exit, Thénon seems to be telling us, and that’s why she keeps asking, questioning, putting one word in front of the other, traversing the void in between, building out of words something that goes beyond words, a space with no hierarchies of language, of register, of form." |
