Description
A book of Stage Reviews named Jac, who sets himself on fire. An old Bible who drinks black coffee and smokes heavily. A greedy Pub Guide, a kind Bestseller exploding when hit by a bundle of fan Mail. And a Short Story, who falls in love with a charming Travel Brochure, making him a hero unique in world literature, this is Bookstore City.
It’s depicted in History of a Lonely Short Story, written by young Dutch author Pjotr Smaad (32). Playful and with a distinctive own voice, he compares our book trade and the architecture of human society. 10 years of rewriting resulted in a Swift worthy, witty and morally sharp allegory.
Coming with Gustav Doré (Don Quichot) like illustrations, there’s probably no other book that coincides so completely with the theme and spirit of World Book Day.
