 The best-seller novel is a \uline{middle-class} art. Its \enquote{equipment}, the ability to read, pen and paper, the prose fictional narrative, is simple. Mass paperback publication and monopolistic distribution of the best-seller make it much more efficient, much less of a luxury then the theatre. However, the film is more immediate, more accessable to the oppressed. 
 
 Many bourgeois intellectuals are becoming more interested in film than in the novel. Even so, the middle classes may continue to demand the best-seller. If they do, the best-seller will present a dilemma. The whole experience of the best-seller shows that it can only have flair, \enquote{freedom}, \enquote{life} when it is irresponsible to the correct political line, to Communist virtuousness. That is, when it is cynical about revolution, scatological, or the like. The novel that approximates the Party line, Marxist historiography, the Socialist Realist novel, can only be stodgy, inept, and dull---and is not a \enquote{best-seller}. There is no getting around it: Dostoevski is more \enquote{alive} than any Soviet novelist; the political cynics, Hemingway, Mailer, Baldwin, and their kind, make the most \enquote{alive} novelists, The reason is precisely that the best-seller violates Condition C. The flair of the best-seller, even the \enquote{true-to-life} best-seller, comes from its fictionality, its fantasy, its escapism,

 At best, if the workers' pressure for a revolutionary political line in the best-seller becomes great enough, it may be possible to divert them from the best-seller to the socialist journalistic book and film.

 Can as much established culture as I have said really be exhausted? It is extremely significant that during the same early Soviet period I have referred to, all of the famous cultural specialists, even Eisenstein, even Mayakovsky, believed that Art would ultimately disappear; as every honest history of the period admits. In general, this period was the most revolutionary yet in cultural history; there must be some truth in the unanimous belief of its celebrities,

 Two topics particularly need study. The most important is: Culture as the instrument of an economic class. The overwhelming evidence that culture is a class instrument must be assembled. The other topic is the finances of culture, of the multi-billion-dollar cultural institutions: patronage and commissions; Opera boxes; book sales; ticket sales; the Art market; record sales; the banks and the cinema monopolies; the financing of Broadway plays; sponsorship of TV dramas; private endowment of Orchestras, Museums, Concert Halls; state-monopoly capitalist support, which is increasingly important. 
 
 Top published studies of the finances of culture are Francis Haskell's \uline{Patrons and Painters: A Study in the Relations Between Italian Art and Society In the Age of the Baroque}; investment banker Richard H. Rush's \uline{Art As An Investment}; and bourgeois critic Harold Rosenberg's \enquote{The Art Establishment}, in Esquire, January 1965; because they elaborate with Machiavellian frankness on the relation of culture to the ruling class, for a large area of culture. These revealing studies need only be placed in context to have revolutionary implications. Unpublished material of mine which I am collecting under the title \uline{Class and the Development of Culture} will provide an adequate general theory of culture.

 A general remark on implementation of the best possibility for theatre and film. In the early stages of the replacement of the Legitimate Theatre and the novelistic cinema, some more plays and some neo-novelistic cinemas may be produced. These dramas and cinemas present a dilemma exactly analogous to that of the best-seller. They can have \enquote{life} only when they are irresponsible to the correct political line. The more they approximate the Party line, the more they will fall flat. LeRoi Jones against the Chinese \enquote{proletarian drama}: that is the dilemma. The politically irresponsible drama and novelistic cinema may have to be permitted for a while. But a more hopeful possibility is that workers' dissatisfaction with their politics will help to displace them.

 I have so far limited myself to the present period, but I would like to make one remark with respect to the period after the defeat of the U.S.-European bourgeoisies. Music-dancing will then be an amusement rather than a class-struggle symbol. In the present period, street-Negro music is permeated through and through with \uline{competition}. There is competition between the singers and combos. There is competition on the dance floor. The conceptions of one's superiority to another, one's getting ahead and leaving another behind, or of one's mediocrity or inferiority, are involved. Thus, disappointment and failure are possible in this music-dancing. Now competition is inimical to amusement, I think the people of the future will turn against this competition. They will find a way, in music-dancing and other amusements, for everybody to be \enquote{best}.

 If the bourgeoisie could keep control indefinitely of the world's most productive economies, the U.S. and West Europe, then all cultural leadership, no matter how revolutionary, would come to nothing.
