Yeah, cuz book publishing is totally divorced from business and economics. Just wish for a book and blam! It materializes. Ah... poets! Of course DeLillo gets no money from the publisher or the production company. He needs only ambrosia from Mount Parnassus and his day job as a busboy.

I hope this movie is successful so that Cronenberg can (finally, someone who can) make White Noise. Because
Barry fucking Sonnenfeld was supposed to make it, but luckily didn't.
