I've been thinking a lot about dreams, and how becoming a publisher isn't something I expected; being an author has always been my dream, but I love where I landed, and I love drawing attention to quiet novels.

Did a bunch of Christmas-related retail crap, and rewarded myself (as I am wont to do) with the unapologetic purchase of a hardcover. It was the latest Eggers. I played the "What's my line" game that I sometimes do, choosing ten buzzy books and reading the first line of each and falling in love at first sentence. "The Circle" won with it's hot, "My God, Mae thought. It's heaven." Okay, that was two sentences, but what a line of flight, right?Suzy Vitellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836144962952322322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-32507450145102882582013-12-08T14:28:47.490-08:002013-12-08T14:28:47.490-08:00to build a nation of readers. i would do everythin...to build a nation of readers. i would do everything possible to make carrying a book as common as carrying a phone. they would be in every impulse buying sections of every major dept. store and no celebrity would be caught dead w/out one...books would be how they define themselves and/or their mood, "jennifer lawrence was spotted leaving LAX with Alice Close Your Eyes, obviously wanting audiences to take notice of her darker side..." i would do whatever i could to make my book-purchasing habits seem...normal.

Mi...Neo-noir. So cool! And hero-less. Even better.<br /><br />Mine would feature unlikely heroes and heroines. Those nuanced and complex characters who fall out of the predictable bell curve of logical & normative emotional reaction.

I think my publishing company would focus on neo-noir: dark, subversive, reality-based books without heroes. <br /><br />What would yours be, Suzy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
