Among the Academy Award nominees for best picture that got trampled by the Oppenheimer juggernaut was “American Fiction,” a movie about writers, writing and the publishing business.

By extension, the movie’s message also applies to other art forms, and to the business of marketing and promoting books, films, music, and other works of art.
