Paperback. Condition: Good. One day Memento Mori realises that he is a character in a book who has the power to travel from one book to another.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Pierre Sonage is an unpopular French writer. Only twelve people attended the presentation of his latest novel. So he decides that the only way to become popular is to die, he commits suicide for PR reasons and then goes to hell. But hell is not the place we think it might be. It's a literary hell, where famous and unknown writers are tortured in the same way that their books used to torture readers: James Joyce writes footnotes of his own footnotes, Jack Kerouac can't stop walking, Samuel Beckett endlessly waits for somebody. Dante Alighieri, infinite guide to this whole territory, welcomes Pierre to hell where BBC (Big Brother's Channel) is controlled by George Orwell, William Shakespeare runs the hotel HOTHELLO and gambling house MacBet, Arthur Conan Doyle investigates strange things along with him and everything is full of literature. Bestseller is a "satirical-parody-detective-fantasy-humorous-quest-and-what-we-have missed" genre novel about breaking off the literary cliches, and ignoring or laughing at them. This book is an absolute hell for writers, but at the same time an unbelievable paradise for readers.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback.

Mr.Mori persuades Romeo and Juliet that suicide is not a solution and in their adulthood, they will remember these days with laughter. He goes to The Magic Mountain with a huge supply of penicillin.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Multiple allusions from literary classics are woven into his postmodern narrative as he sends up digimodernism and the shallowness of the desire for fame. Dante, Conan Doyle, Samuel Beckett, George Orwell and other literary heavyweights rebel against the author. As a maverick publishing person, I relished the way Bestseller pokes fun at literary pretentiousness, humbug and bookish aspirations. 'The earth rotated around PR and everything could be sold including me, you, him, her, it, us and them.' Pierre jumps from the 147th floor of a building in Dubai ('the city built out of almost nothing'), and is welcomed into Literary Hell by Dante and Ceberus. He achieves what he could not in his life: his books fly off the shelves, critics pontificate and readers go wild on social media. He is deified. Hell turns out to be a surprising place. Writers are punished in myriad ways, especially 'for the clichés with which they tortured their readers'. Balzac is forbidden from drinking coffee. James Joyce writes footnotes about his own footnotes. Samuel Beckett waits endlessly for Godot to show up. Kerouac 'walks and walks all day long.' Plagiarists prowl though Sherwood Forest robbing classic writers of their plots and metaphors for distribution among novices and hacks. 'The narrow streets were paved with pages of books burned or torn to pieces by readers'. Escorted to a room, Pierre finds messages left for him by a runaway stranger, including The Decanon: a parody of Elmore Leonard's rules for writing, and he goes on to be interviewed by Big Brother. We meet Lucy -- 'a hipster and a retrophile' -- who has a soft spot for unknown writers. She had been of the dozen readers who attended the presentation of Pierre's last book. What Pierre's punishment will be remains a mystery until the eleventh hour. ' Georgia de Chamberet in BookBlast.…
