Every year Italian bookstores are filled with yet another useless book by the insect journalist that flutters buzzing between television and theaters. You watch the news and find yourself a minister surrounded by the journalist's books - after all, the book also talks about her, she is called into question. If you search for images on Google, you will find a photo from last year which portrays the author between the Minister of the Interior and the head of government. But it didn't end here. On the news, a few days ago, they dedicated a few minutes to presenting the book by a former mayor of Rome. As you have seen, I don't mention names, because I don't want to dirty my blog.
The publishing of the elected Today's writer, especially the emerging one, must also deal with this side of publishing. The two aforementioned books are published respectively by Mondadori and Rizzoli. So, given the latest merger, from the same publisher. We are talking about the so-called giants of Italian publishing . Those who don't even see us poor mortals and will Special Data never see us. They are the publishers with money, who try to make more money, so they focus on the public figure, preferably a political one, because in this way he will also have ample space on the news and on the various television programs. I wonder if an industry like publishing - it is an industry that produces literature - should have reserved seats, or rather places of honor for prominent figures .
Literature should put all authors on the same level, if not for the quality of the work created - judged a posteriori - at least for the possibilities of access to publication. The young author - young as a writer, not in terms of age - is asked for a synopsis, sample chapters, other publications and then a lot of patience (if we do not respond within six months, the manuscript is considered rejected). What is required of those elected? Nothing, I think. Perhaps all it takes is a phone call and in a few minutes the book production mechanism is activated. What if a stranger published those books? Try suggesting to Mondadori The cane and the viagra: the seduction from Mussolini to Berlusconi or a History of the conspiracy from the Ides of March to Renzi and let's see what happens. In Rizzoli, however, propose Bella, ziʼ, a dialogue between you and an elderly aunt you have never met.
