This is a lovely post for me to read, because I had an early association as an editor with the Baffler Boys. Back then (mid-nineties) I fell into their orbit because they had an unaccountable interest in Scottish fiction and serialized Jim Kelman's brilliant novel HOW LATE IT WAS, HOW LATE, which we were publishing at Norton. I liked their style, and so when Tom Frank and Matt Weiland came to me with the idea for a Baffler anthology to be titled COMMODIFY YOUR DISSENT, it took three seconds for me to say, sure, let's do it. We did it as trade paperback original and it sold quite well for Norton, still does, I believer. Tom Frank was clearly the star of the group, and so when I came to Doubleday one of first books I signed up was his first trade book, ONE MARKET UNDER GOD.The rest is history -- Metropolitan Books history, alas. The Baffler Boys are a fine group of independent, iconclastic thinkers, and they all write wonderfully. Bless them.
