Anne thanks for this and for the referral to the Metropolitan Review. I am writing a book review essay right now on your Rust Belt Press’s Jonathan Foiles’ Reading Arendt in the Waiting Room and Wendy Brown’s Nihilistic: Reading with Weber. Both discuss nihilism.
"a writer spends ages revising a book with an agent" I have no doubt this is common. When an agent considers an author, the ms is secondary. First comes a social media following, industry connections, a trending identity, youth and beauty, and an elite address. Then comes the ms. A weak ms can be fixed. The other stuff, not so much.

I’m Canadian and I will not buy American books while your government bullies my country.
