The state of novels may well be dire...

Except it's not. I've been more excited about some of the SF novels I've read in the past year than I had been for a while. And in fantasy--I had essentially stopped reading it for about a decade, because I just got tired of the Tolkien tropes and lack of invention, but this year I've read several epic series that have been really great and fresh.

So, no--I think Sales is focusing on the YA thing way too hard and having a bad day.
