I Have No Armpit Hair

Language in moistened (Milanese)


There is a certain stereotype of Milan able to boast of other things that normally they are ashamed. In particular, our aims to show how strong attitude to public relations what to others might seem like an indigestible mixture of intrusiveness and matchmaking (as we shall see, but instead he is right).

One of these copies I meet every year at Lucca Comics and during the edition of a couple of years ago boasted easily - and with me in front of others - to make the big lick with a piece of 'Dori . A big guy in every sense: a handsome bearded man with two eyes and a deep voice from Satan powerful. According to the subject, the result of meticulous matchmaking was that the big guy said, "you write something and I'll public."

Got it? "You write something and I'll public" so, sight unseen. It 'something that does not even say a Palahniuk (a crap can run out to anyone), let alone a rookie. But anyhow ...

It was not just to get rid the fuck did: he actually published.

Not long after the series ended.

This just to say that when I write things like editor of a shit about economics maybe someone thinks that I do not know what I mean.

A bloodbath

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.

Take the first shit


reading a bit 'of publishing interviews with young rising stars (such as Federico Ghirardi, Thomas Mazzantini) I got the idea that when a publisher decides to colonize a new genus (eg : Fantasy Moccikosy) the following criterion for the choice is to publish the manuscript of the first shit that comes under our noses.


On the blog of Mr Stockfish Shrimps wrote:

Io c’ero, so come è andata.

INT. GIORNO Uffici della Newton & Compton

Entra il direttore editoriale.

D: “A Cristià, ma che, me stai ancora a le straggi e a li servizzi deviati? Svejate bello! Queli de la Enaudi stanno a fa’ er botto co ‘a Strazzu, e noi ce stamo a fa’ magnà er manfano da le mosche! Quelli ce fanno ‘n bucio così!”

A: “Vabbe’, ma che dovrei fare?”

D: “Te devi d’aripijà! Trovame n’artro moccicoso che scrive robbe de draghi, prima de subbito!”

Esce sbattendo la porta.
A***** sospira, chiude il faldone con gli atti della commissione parlamentare d’inchiesta. Scende nel seminterrato e apre il bidone della carta da riciclare, tira fuori i manoscritti fantasy arrivati negli ultimi sei mesi. Scarta tutti quelli dove l’autore è nato prima del 1990, e dei rimanenti legge la prima pagina, seduto su una pila di libri alla luce della lampadina da 15 Watt. Fa una sosta all’una e un quarto per un tramezzino, poi si rimette al lavoro. Scarta tutti quelli che non sono scritti in italiano. Alle 16,23 ne è rimasto solo uno: Bryan di Boscoquieto.

Alle 16,24 è nell’ufficio del direttore editoriale e glielo molla sulla scrivania.

A: "Here it is a bomb."
D: (peering into the title), "Are you sure? Braian de Wirewood? "
A:" Absolutely. Never read anything like it. "
D:" Anyways, 'Daje: trust me. Tiramone 10,000 copies printed to see 'what happens. "

A ***** it back to the office with a sense of relief and goes back to do more serious things.


Some time after a mysterious Joan of Arc on the same blog he writes:

Guys, for those who want to know how it really happened, and that there are mechanisms for publication of basic rileggetevi's comment, "Mr. Stockfish.
sounds like a parody ... but it's exactly what happened.
Even I was there.

Mazzantini And then there's the author of the excellent (for starting the fire) Garmir eclissiomante for the types and Baldini Castoldi Dalai:

How did you meet as a publisher Baldini and Castoldi? It is certainly not bad for a rookie ...

I learned from a family friend that the publishers of Baldini Castoldi Dalai had a house in Elba, Marina di Campo. So I went there with my scooter and I brought them to read the manuscript. Fortunately, this was their son, who read for first novel and has advised parents to check it out. They did so and soon after I was contacted. In practice, I was lucky.


The Ghirardi, as he himself tells us, did not follow the conventional way of sending the manuscript and would address instead of the one person who would be his future editor at a book fair and trimmed the manuscript on the spot.


*****


So, dear friends writers seeking publication, here's a nice pentalogy:

1) sniff the air, follow the smell.

2) Once identified as a new fashion, be quick to jot down from 300 to 700 pages. Do not re-read, not once, so he will not even your editor.

3) Go find editors at home, playing on the intercom if necessary at 3 am (this is essential).

4) Four.

5) Be lucky.

Edu Science Telescope How To Use

The facade and the Small update


The reality around us is made up of two components, the front and one behind it. There is no mention of the Aristotelian concepts of substance and accident, which then give rise to consubstantiation of Protestant doctrine, but something much simpler: people who want to know that our money would be much less willing to give them to him if we know who is really, really what does and how it does.

An interesting example is the advertising of 8 x 1000 to the Catholic Church.



Think about it. Where are the cardinals, the Lancia Thesis, the Pope? To see these commercials do not seem to exist. Only country priest, pastor of the slums, sisters serving soup to the soup kitchen and missionaries in Africa. In essence, it shows only the respectable facade. What's more, those who commission advertising are well aware of not being present in their real substance.

Because we are interested in the discourse on the facade? Why just remove it and immediately snaps irresitibile the effect of the comic.

Look (click on video once it has started to see them on the YouTube site, otherwise here it is cut a slice):



This video seems an exaggeration and it is in sense that the priests who rape kids are certainly a minority. It is no exaggeration to say that instead of a priest who rapes little boys that probably has as its main interest, because frankly you do not understand what Jesus would cheat him and it is plausible to think that not even believe it. The priest interviewed by the actor in the video is funny because viene privato della facciata.

Una serie televisiva che merita è Boris, di cui si può vedere qualche spezzone di seguito. Anche qui l'effetto comico è dato quasi sempre dal fatto che vediamo un ambiente dall'interno senza la facciata. Si parla di produzioni televisive, ma se parliamo di editoria non c'è nessuna differenza. Ho scelto queste scene perché danno bene l'idea di quale è il vero atteggiamento di chi vive un ambiente dall'interno, anche se si farebbe spellare vivo e cospargere di sale piuttosto che ammetterlo di fronte a un non addetto ai lavori.

Buona visione.











And to round off ...
