A writer, who being a poet has written his first novel - I was fortunate enough to get a copy before its official release and really loved it -, told me that his publisher was not very excited at the prospect that it is a satire. The publisher's reasoning was that people do not grasp satire today anymore.
Just wondering about this statement I asked myself why.
Eventually I reached the conclusion that values are probably shifting too much nowadays.
Another reason might be that the art of truly listening to somebody is diminishing. People are just looking for information and do no longer regard the context.
