The spread of the ebook will be a bloodbath for the Italian publishers.
is often said that publishers are commercial entities whose purpose is to produce profits, but this may be true to the limit in Japan, not in Italy. Imagine a company as a monolithic body with one collective brain all geared to maximize profit is in fact a great naivety, which does not take into account the fact that companies are abstract entities made of concrete people, and that in most cases we speak of people marked by unbridled individualism as much as you level up. The interests of those who work in a publishing house or any other company may in fact coincide with those of the same, but diverge at will to reverse course 180 degrees.
At the time the university was to keep us away a couple of lessons on a company's IT systems engineer who worked for years in the field and told us this:
Remember that, as good and competitive can be your product, though it may increase profitability and reduce costs of the company, no one will ever buy if you have the slightest inkling that can go any way to undermine his power. Because, as they say in Naples, control is better than fuck .
The question then this eBook has great sins against publishing: the publisher keeps the power to decide which authors such as pushing and pulling scuttle few or as many copies and distributed in a capillary or otherwise ridiculous. Knows something about a well-known Italian author of horror for kids
not too bright, which is being undermined by his publisher with limited distribution (of course, I'm not sympathize: his publisher is doing just fine in part for the crime of having published the first time).
So: from the perspective of the publishing house can not blackmail the author is obviously a detriment because someone might then think of raise the ridge (instead today it punishes one to educate one hundred). Editor instead of a shit about economics, but loves to be surrounded by adoring and licking the issue does not change, because the power to decide who and who push the language to sink stimulates salivation.
And now a nice
Brain
The insight came to me arguing with Francesco Barbi: why the Italian authors merely incense between them and never, ever say bad work - as objectively repulsive - to a colleague?
Ok, there is the exchange of favors
I speak well of you, you speak well of me , But that everyone knows and has little value. Instead, there is a reason more subtle and more important.
anyone have an idea?
SOLUTION
If a writer published by a major publishing house for the possibility of a major publishing house to publishing stuff unpublishable, automatically also casts a shadow on itself. At that point, the license of public authority by a major publishing house can also become waste paper, is no longer the certification of an objective value.
What they said to me when I arrived at the final prize in Urania?
A-ha, once you said that the previous winner, e-Doll, it sucked, so now you can not boast!
fact I looked good and boast. As I pointed out that I did not win: I came in the final, and I never said that the finalists last year sucked ... ^___^ But this is too subtle for some brains.
The case of GL, which speaks well of Troisi's perfect. Think about it: not only are published by the same publisher, but by the will of the same editor, Sandrone Dazieri. So it is logical that Dazieri have to be a public that only works of high literary value, because if it had instead said that a
Ucci Ucci, I smelled shit sell!
then the same thing could have happened with W, however mistakenly (that only sells). It goes without saying that if only public Dazieri High Quality, then Nihal and the rest should be.
