In horses we call it "barn-blindness." In humans, it's mother love. Your work is special and beautiful and perfect and more wonderful than any other work that ever was, and the world must make you a star. Unfortunately, that only works if your reality coincides with the consensual version.
I guess blaming agents makes sense since they're at the door and you're trying to get in and they keep saying no, you're not on the invitation list. The author hasn't thought through to what that means about who is really controlling the list. (Which makes me wonder how well they've thought their fiction through, too.)
