Geni, truffatori, artisti, artigiani, visionari e mercanti. Da sempre nel mondo dell'editoria si muovono tipi umani di ogni genere, tutti al servizio di un solo obiettivo: vendere libri. O forse mica sempre, chissà. In ogni caso, l'industria letteraria rimane un oggetto di indagine affascinante, sospesa com'è tra altissima cultura e basso commercio (ma a volte anche il contrario). Oggi Alice prova a raccontarla – pur se in modo inevitabilmente frammentario – attraverso tre libri freschi di stampa, che tracciano un ritratto dell'editoria tanto divertente quanto spietato.Cominciamo con Felicità™, esilarante romanzo d'esordio del canadese Will Ferguson recuperato e ristampato in lingua italiana dal giovane editore milanese Accento: è del 2001, ma a parte i fax, sembra scritto ieri – evidentemente, le follie dell'industria editoriale non sono un'esclusiva del ventunesimo secolo.Operazione Best Seller di Valentina Notarberardino (edizioni Ponte alle Grazie) è invece un saggio, ma condivide con Felicità™ l'approccio ironico e disincantato, con cui l'autrice affronta temi molto seri per il business del libro: come si sceglie cosa pubblicare? Quanto vengono pagati gli scrittori? A cosa servono le recensioni? Come funzionano le classifiche? Domande che accompagnano ogni fase della vita di un libro, dall'ideazione al comodino del lettore.Chiude la puntata Scrittori al veleno di Nicola Lecca (Mondadori): apparentemente un giallo, in realtà un pamphlet sullo stato contemporaneo dell'editoria, e della letteratura di conseguenza. Un titolo che fa – ancora una volta – dell'ironia la sua arma migliore, a partire dall'antefatto: perché se è vero che gli scrittori scarsi sono sempre esistiti, davvero qualcuno potrebbe pensare che la soluzione migliore sia eliminarli fisicamente con un risotto avvelenato? Dentro Alice c'è anche Mirador, lo specchio che riflette proposte librarie insolite e sorprendenti, recensite da grandi voci della letteratura in italiano. Questa settimana Nadeesha Uyangoda racconta Volti nella folla di Valeria Luiselli (La nuova frontiera).

All history is a kind of fiction, and the best stories are often built around real people and places, so what can we learn from invented truths and our relationship with imagination and investigation? This episode features Helen Humphreys in conversation with Frances Boyle and Will Ferguson in conversation with artsfile.ca's Peter Robb. Based on a true story, Rabbit Foot Bill by Helen Humphreys is about a lonely boy in a prairie town who befriends a vagrant in 1947 and then witnesses a shocking murder. Being with Bill is everything to young Leonard, so his shock is absolute when he witnesses Bill commit a sudden violent act and loses him to prison. Fifteen years on, and reunited with Bill, he becomes fixated on discovering what happened on that fateful day. From Scotiabank Giller Prize–winner Will Ferguson, comes The Finder, a beguiling and wildly original tale about the people, places, and things that are lost and found in our world. Both an epic literary adventure and an escape into a darkly thrilling world of deceit and its rewards, this novel asks: How far would you be willing to go to recover the things you've left behind?
