Worse yet, one by one, the anonymous panelists-all gifted novelists in their own rights-are falling prey to mysterious accidents.
What gives them the right?” A feeding frenzy against ‘A Good Novel’ occurs on-line and in the media. “Who are these kapos who have the nerve to place their seal of approval on this book and not that one. Apparently there are more good book addicts in Paris than anyone had imagined. Then they open their new enterprise, called ‘A Good Novel,’ and wait for customers who appear in droves. Francesca and Ivan collate the lists, adding further choices of their own. Our cause is undeniable.”Įight panelists separately select six hundred novels apiece. As Francesca explains, “We are investing our time and money to support and enrich our literary heritage, which is being threatened by forgetfulness and indifference, not to mention the disarray in taste. French fiction is the focus books from other countries are welcome. Unlike Sunny, their stock will include the classics, but important new novels are a key part of the mix, too. Two French bibliophiles establish a book store based on a premise somewhat like the one that Sunny uses to select books for “Bookin With Sunny.” They will stock and advocate the very best and most provocative novels-not the formula fiction, not the best-sellers, not the authors advertised everywhere. For anyone who loves good books, A Novel Bookstore by Laurence Cossé is a must-read mystery.
