La coup de Grasset: Exodus of authors.
18 April 2026
Already 170 authors have announced that they are leaving French publisher Grasset.
In an open letter, the “resigning” authors explain that they refuse ”to allow our ideas and our work” to become the property of the ultraconservative billionaire Vincent Bolloré, who has taken control of the Hachette Livre group, Grasset’s parent company, in 2023.
