Hardback. Etat : New. The literary life isn't just about curling up with a good book and a cuppa, it's also a world where Lord Byron calls John Keats' work "p**s-a-bed poetry", spaniels eat the first drafts of masterpieces and gung-ho Ben Jonson shows he's more than happy to prove the sword is mightier than the pen. The Book of Literary Scandals shows that behind the jaunty covers and feelgood memoirs is a dingier world of personal insults, physical blows, and publishing errors. It's one where books suffer bad endings and libraries impose bizarre sanctions. It's a story of writers behaving badly since Sophocles clashed quills with Euripedes, defacing books, abandoning spouses, and regretting choosing Dylan Thomas to be the Best Man at their wedding. Elsewhere it looks at hot take reviews, sniffy dedications, publishers' rejection letters, literary friendships gone sour and why you should never lick a book with a green cover.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The literary world isnt all bestsellers, it is also a world of insults, physical blows, snide acknowledgements and publishing errors. Books are messy, personal things and writers have been grappling with them in the metaphorical mud for centuries.Some writers have gone at each other in ink, while other bookish brawls are more literal. It usually ends in regret or death. But books dont need authors to go bad. They get stolen, misprinted, censored, some are even cursed or bound in questionable materials.When Books Go Bad is a rousing collection of publishing mishaps, its narrative twists and turns taking a light-hearted look at poor editing, poor judgement, and a whole range of bad behaviour. Explores the scandalous and salacious side of literary history, tapping into the perennial interest in literary celebrity. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780712355834
