I was amused by inability of that essay to understand why Passage Press would be interested in books that aren't explicitly anti-woke: “Yet the novels themselves may not live up to the publisher’s anti-woke marketing. It’s hard to imagine that their relatively tame transgressions will do much to excite a far-right audience already awash in racist memes.”
He has no idea what the purpose of publishing these books are, or what kids might gain from reading them.
Now I'm curious if the original Hardy Boys had better plot lines. The ones I grew up reading (presumably the 1950s rewrites) all have the same basic plot, including the mandatory motorcycle crash.

The situation is literally the opposite – it is contemporary publishing that should be treated with deep suspicion.
Fantastic
Really loving your writing! Thank you!
