""We couldn't just do nothing," novelist Colombe Schneck stated, emphasizing the collective decision of 115 Grasset authors to cease collaboration with the publishing house following Olivier Nora's departure, which they viewed as a significant turning point."
""Vincent Bolloré is like Attila: he arrives, he destroys as he pleases, he corrupts because there are people who stay and have no choice," said Grasset author Claude Askolovitch, highlighting the destructive influence Bolloré has on the media landscape."
""Bolloré's aggressive expansion into the French media has been cheered by conservatives as rebalancing what they see as long-standing left-wing bias," reflecting the polarized views on his control over media narratives."
More than 100 authors at Grasset announced their departure after CEO Olivier Nora's unexpected exit, reportedly due to a disagreement with Vincent Bolloré. This turmoil reflects similar unrest in Bolloré's other media properties, which have shifted towards far-right ideologies. Authors expressed their discontent through an open letter, with some comparing Bolloré's impact to that of Attila the Hun. His media expansion has been praised by conservatives for addressing perceived left-wing bias, while critics fear the erosion of literary integrity and diversity in viewpoints.
