![]() ![]() I could see an elitism forming right before my eyes, and I bristled at the idea of people telling me what is and isn’t good. Of course it would be naive to think that this isn’t already taking place in the book world, and so I empathise with the frustration of these fictional characters. ![]() I initially felt a bit uncomfortable with this idea. From this disillusionment, the idea grows to open a bookshop called The Good Novel that sells “All the books no one is talking about”–this boils down to selecting titles that may or may not be in print but are some of the best books out there. A marketing strategy you cynically ask? Well perhaps, but the shop is the brainchild of two idealistic, avid readers, Van and Francesca who are both disillusioned with the publishing industry and bookshops. The plot concerns a bookshop in Paris which sells only ‘ good’ books. I recently read A Novel Bookstore by Laurence Cosse, and if you want to read the full review, go to Mostly Fiction. ![]()
