And really bad stories about sex, bad descriptions of sex. There's a certain kind of sexual behavior that's sanctioned in fiction. I'm not exaggerating. People are now writing books just hoping to be an Oprah book. She never has a book for her club that's a really sexual book, true and honest.
Most people are terribly afraid of sex.
The new people didn't care about the book, and I heard years later through the grapevine that one of the new top honchos had hated my book. If a man hates Lunch , it means that it's tapped into something he doesn't want to deal with. It's not a hateful book. So, even though there's more sex in books, it's still very mainstream. As soon as you get out where it's a little dangerous, they don't want to touch it.
