Why I did not hesitate to leave my publishing house with him after the laying of the Grasset publisher Olivier Nora: A guest contribution by Bernard-Henri Lévy.
The conservative owner of the French publishing house Grasset, Vincent Bolloré, has announced that the publishing house will look for new writers, in response to a boycott by more than 170 writers. Several hundred French writers and a group of employees have expressed concern about the situation.
P.-D.G. of Grasset, Olivier Nora was brutally thrown at the door by Vincent Bolloré, which led to the departure of 170 authors of the house. Alas, this publishing king does not escape the rules of the capitalistic concentration, the arbitrariness of economic power and, as here, the ideological and political enterprise of a billionaire.
Vincent Bolloré, a magnat of the industry, made the headlines for evicting the owner of the publishing house Grasset. According to the journalist at Les Jours Isabelle Roberts, the entrepreneur imposes his vision on the media he owns and far beyond since he has built a real cultural empire.
By dismissing Olivier Nora, owner of Grasset editions, billionaire Vincent Bolloré has triggered an unprecedented sling: more than two hundred authors of the house now refuse to publish their next book.
The house of Édition Grasset had distinguished itself by its collaboration during the war, it reconnects with its history with Bolloré. The article Bolloré: Grasset returns to the niche, the small media world discovers the extreme right appeared first on Against Attack.
