A depressing but interesting Q&A session with agent Nat
Sobel about how the publishing industry was 30 years ago, how
it's changed, and how the odds are now stacked against new
(fiction) writers. What makes this on topic is that Sobel is
Ellroy's agent, and midway through there's a large chunk of
interesting bits about Ellroy, including how he broke
through.
