The Book Babes on Chasing the Almighty Dollar: Anne Rice, Harold Bloom, Religion and Bestsellers:
In the past decade, the entire book-publishing industry has discovered religion, in one way or the other. And the astounding success of The Da Vinci Code has simply added fuel to the printing press. Whether in the form of Dan Brown, Marilynne Robinson or a half-dozen other authors whose books are perched on my desk, mainstream publishers have learned that God-talk sells books.You can bet that the folks at Knopf, who shepherded Rice through her vampires-and-witches phase, are chanting hosannas over the transformation that led to Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt.
Technorati tags: Da Vinci Code, Anne Rice
Interesting pseudo-”think” piece by The Book Babes.
