Entrevista con el agente literario Andrew Wylie de la Wylie Agency, que representa a algunos de los autores más importantes de la lengua inglesa vivos y muertos (Salman Rushdie, Chinua Achebe, VS Naipaul, Philip Roth, Martin Amis, Vladimir Nabokov, Saul Bellow, Alaa al Aswany, Arthur Miller y Art Spiegelman). Conocido como El Chacal, cambió la relación que existe entre editoriales, agentes y escritores.
