This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Adam Szetela, who earned his Ph.D. in English in the Department of Literatures at Cornell University. Before that, he was a visiting fellow in the Department of History at Harvard University. He writes for The Washington Post, The Guardian, Newsweek, and other publications. His latest release — That Book is Dangerous: How Moral Panic, Social Media, and the Culture Wars Are Remaking Publishing — is the focus of this episode. In That Book Is Dangerous!, Adam investigates how well-intentioned and often successful efforts to diversify American literature have also produced serious problems for literary freedom. Although progressives are correct to be focused on right-wing attempts at legislative censorship, Adam reasons for attention to the ways that left-wing censorship controls speech within the publishing industry itself. The author draws on interviews with presidents and vice presidents at the Big Five publishers, literary agents at the most prestigious agencies, award-winning authors, editors, marketers, sensitivity readers, and other industry professionals to examine the new publishing landscape.
