The Jewish Journal writes: With the publishing world turning hostile to Jewish and Zionist authors, Wicked Son has thrived as a publishing refuge for unapologetic Jews.
The new, renewed, Jew-hating virus has been spreading for years but it’s now reaching epidemic proportions, especially in so-called intellectual circles. Much of the publishing world has turned hostile to Jews. Writers giving off a whiff of Zionism or appreciation for Western civilization often find themselves canceled. Equally devastating is the silent boycott, the quiet killer that has many well-known authors with great manuscripts muscled out, unable to get publishing contracts with no real reason given, even before colleagues start banning their works. If Adam Bellow and David Bernstein hadn’t had the wisdom to found Wicked Son in 2020, we would be begging them today to launch a bold, open-minded imprint, willing to publish books about Jews and Israel, from left to right, religious and nonreligious, without the suffocating political correctness of today’s Academic Intifadaists.
