A Novel Bookstore by Laurence Cossé

I got lost in my own little world, just like the characters. Perhaps you can fault me for that. Perhaps Cosse was counting on that reaction to a certain extent. What can I say? You win. If at this point you are now inclined to read this , I would only remind you that even though I thought some things were worth five stars, it was hardly all on that level. If you still read it and don't like it, well View all 23 comments. Oct 07, Richard Derus rated it it was amazing. Real Rating: 4. Rebelling against the business of and in search of an ideal place where their literary dreams can come true, Ivan and Francesca open a store where the passion for literature is given free reign. Tucked away in a corner of Paris, the store offers its clientele a selection of literary masterpieces chosen b Real Rating: 4. My Review : Well, okay, see, this is a French novel, and it's really, really hard for a Murrikin like me to disentangle what French novels are about, like what the author set out to do, because the French don't really have the same rules we Murrikins do for novel-writing. So the rich lady does what rich people do best and unbelts with a big pile of gelt for the poor-but-smart dude to start this bookstore that will sell only novels, and only the best, the finest, the most ut of the lit'ry output of the planet, chosen by eight of the best French writers now writing. Hijinks ensue, which are frankly completely incredible in its literal sense , but are lots of fun. That's what it is. No more, no less, no different. So, in the end, the Philistine husband and the poor-but-smart dude part ways but the store must go on, and the book's narrator is revealed, though I have to say it's not a huge surprise, though I think it's intended that way. The end, happily ever after but sadder and wiser. I gave the book a generous 4. I'd recommend this book to all and sundry if only because of this passage, beautifully translated by the very talented Alison Anderson, on page of the Europa : Literature is a source of pleasure It must not be dissociated from reality. Every subtlety in life is material for a book Have you noticed There are grown-ups who will say no, literature is not life, that novels teach you nothing. Literature informs, instructs, it prepares you for life. If that passage rings you like the bell you wondered if you might be, then this book will speak to you and shape you a bit differently than you were before; if it seems tediously long, avoid this book like it's got herpes, because you'll hate it.

Bookseller Ivan and heiress Francesca open a bookstore in Paris that sells only good literature chosen by a secret committee of eight novelists. The store with its high quality books and comfy couches is very successful at first. But then the bookstore comes under attack online and in other media by what seems to be an organized group determined to stop a new trend quickly. Is it a publisher, a writer, or a prize judge whose books ha "A Novel Bookstore" is a beautiful tribute to fine literature. Is it a publisher, a writer, or a prize judge whose books have not been chosen? is a big business dependent on selling the newest books, and there are lots of people earning a paycheck from the industry. Some thugs physically attack people associated with the bookstore. An investigator is brought in, although there is no tidy ending to the mystery. The best parts of the book were about the relationships of the main characters as friends and romantic partners, the authors in the secret committee, and the booksellers' deep love of literature. Francesca published a letter written from the heart about her love of good books. I found myself rereading it several times since it expresses the feelings of a true bibliophile, and included a small portion of it. We want splendid books, books that immerse us in the splendor of reality and keep us there; books that prove to us that love is at work in the world next to evil, right up against it, at times indistinctly, and that it always will be, just the way that suffering will always ravage hearts.

I loved this book, and it wasn't just because I saw a little bit of Karen and myself and the ways we try to promote 'good' books over the onslaught of 'not-so-good' books. Of course we work in an evil corporate bookstore, but along with others at our particular evil corporate bookstore I think we do a fairly good job at fighting the good fight, so to speak. Elizabeth already wrote an excellent review for this book, and it has the q First things first, thank you so much, Elizabeth, for this book! Elizabeth already wrote an excellent review for this book, and it has the quote I would use if I were going to review the book, so you should just go read her review. Instead of a review I'm going to share two of my favorite bookstores. This is my all-time favorite bookstore and sadly it's rare I ever get to visit it. This is what it looks like: [image error] It is run by this man: He is quite knowledgeable about books and he eschews technology. When you buy a giant pile of books from him he will always add up the price of the order in his head and then afterwards check himself against a calculator. He's almost always correct, oh and while he's doing that he usually carries on a conversation with you about the books you have chosen to buy. Out of all the bookstores I've ever gone to, this one is the closest to the one described in this novel. He only carries 'good' books. This is where I bought Infinite Jest! See he carries good books! The store isn't the largest used bookstore, it's actually a fairly small store, but there is no crap and all of the books are in great condition. Oh, and the prices are pretty good too and each time you spend ten dollars at the store he gives you a purple dollar which is good for one dollar off another purchase, not that I think most customers need an incentive to return to this wonderful store. Here is what it looks like: And this is what the bookstore looks like from the inside with Asians, I've never personally seen any Asians in the store, but it's good to know that they weren't lynched by the hicks that live in the area. He's super-friendly and has on more than one occasion stood on my back as I was kneeling over to look for books. What I love about this store is that some of the best stuff seems to turn up there. The husband and wife that run the store have a good eye for picking up 'good' books even if they are not familiar with them. They also have a good selection of mass markets, all priced at one dollar. It's a great place to load up on not-so-good or to get cheap copies of just about any classic you can think of. I love this bookstore and I try to visit it a few times every time I visit my parents. I think part of the greatness of this bookstore is that it is in an out of the way town so there isn't that much competition among book buyers to find the literary gems that pop up here. They also have a pretty awesome bathroom that has walls covered with advertisements for other used bookstores in the North East along with other 'bookish' things to peruse while you are doing your business.

If you are a lover of literature, bookstores, and well.. I was so pleased to see how contemporary it was. T "He is eager to deliver his letters rogatory, and is somewhat excited: a rather unusual matter, just imagine, the victim is literature. This only helped give the sense of how the main characters and bookstore founders , had such little intentions of creating a stir in the politics of the world how they were wrong! They thought that by opening a store that featured only "good novels" chosen by a secret commitee of contemporary [French] literary greats, they would create their own ideal bookstore. However, the ramifications of their unexpected success turned the publishing world completely upside- down. Some direct results of their project, mirrored in the sales of the store and later slowly trickling outward, included out of print titles becoming increasingly popular, calling for reprints - and new titles from "pop" authors going largely unnoticed. This concept is incredibly interesting to me. Though I always favor printed books, I do own an ereader and occasionally stroll through the ebook sites for new reads. Yes, I said it. Not all of it is, I'm sure. However, I can't help but wish there was some sort of "quality policing" out there. As much as editors can be fickle and miss out on some great works, I truly believe the filtering that is a major part of their jobs is a benefit to us fickle readers. I don't want to waste my time on garbage. There is simply not enough time in this world for me to read all of the Good Novels as it is. There is a quote that I am going to steal from Elizabeth's review that gives a great feel for the general theme of this novel and is a quote that so many can relate to: "We want necessary books, books we can read the day after the funeral, when we have no tears left from all our crying, when we can hardly stand for the pain; books that will be there like loved ones when we have tidied a dead child's room and copied out her secret notes to have them with us, always[ We have no time to waste on insignificant books, hollow books, books that are there to please. We have no time for those sloppy, hurried books[ We want books that are written for those of us who doubt everything, who cry over the least little thing, who are startled by the slightest noise. ANY book that I have an inkling of interent in must pass the tests of the faithful Goodreads reviewers. The best part, however, is that I can get a feel from your tastes to gage how I will take your review. Someone with completely different interests as mine will not have a review that I take as seriously. This was my first reading of this novel and I was so completely absorbed that I couldn't possibly stop to note all of the titles that I wanted to look into or all of the quotes that I wanted to save. In fact, I was completely surprised that more quotes weren't listed on the title's Goodreads page. This book definitely deserves a second reading. There is just so much to take out of it for us book lovers to devour. View all 5 comments. Jan 02, Jenny rated it it was ok. I don't know. I didn't get this book at all. Really, the plot is very simple: a wealthy woman and a bookseller decide to open a store called "The Good Novel" where they sell only, wait for it, good novels. This is supposed to be some kind of revolutionary movement that will change society for the better. Then they, and the famous authors who decide what constitutes a good novel, begin to be attacked. Because this store is so threatening. Also there are random love affairs. And then midway throug I don't know. And then midway through I realized I had no idea who the narrator of the book was because it switched from third to first person. And all of this takes many, many more pages than you would think, and yet after I finished it all I had no idea what all those pages were doing. I also don't buy for a second that anyone would care if one snobby bookstore opened, and I found it irritating that the author seemed to have no awareness of cultural capital or hegemony or reception theory or any of the million critiques of the notion of a "good" piece of art. I don't think opening snotty canonical bookstores is a "movement" Occupy Barnes and Noble? But more importantly, I don't think anybody else on the whole planet would be threatened enough to physically harm someone who did open a snotty bookstore. So the whole thing made no sense to me really. Maybe because it's a French novel? Maybe people in Paris really do have this kind of time and resources on their hands? Anyway, the book jacket describes it as being like an Agatha Christie novel and I suspect the person who wrote that has never READ an Agatha Christie novel because the two things are in no way related. Also, wouldn't Agatha Christie be a little lowbrow for the snotty bookstore? Mar 05, Paula rated it liked it. Well,now, what to say about this literary non thriller set in Paris. Let's see, it has a terrific opening that led me to believe it would be a mystery about books and book lovers. But that hope was dashed when the owners begin telling the tale of the Novel Bookstore to the police. Convoluted to say the least and really not all that riveting, but I was charmed by the idea of a bookstore devoted only to great literature. The problem being, of course, who is to decide what constitutes great. The ow Well,now, what to say about this literary non thriller set in Paris. The owners form a secret committee to create a list. Why this need for secrecy eluded me. The store is a great success and problems begin. The writers and publishers who are not included get huffy. So huffy things become dangerous. Actually this sounds more interesting than it was. Too much detail, an uninteresting love story, and the "who dunnit" aspect is completely lost. In fact it gets tiresome. Books are discussed but not in a particularly compelling manner. I wanted better book talks, I guess. The idea of the book seems to be that people want a return to selective bookstores. Many of us are tired of mega bookstores where you have to wade through tons of schlock to get to the good stuff. I love small bookstores where the stock indicates selectivity by the owners. I love whimsical displays suggesting "Here are some books you might like". Mega bookstores tend to overwhelm me by offering too much. So I congratulate Mme Cosse on the idea behind her book but wish her execution had been better. Shelves: contemporary-fiction , read , best-of , france-french-theme-setting. The gentle tone of this understated novel belies its passion. The passion lies not in the wistful but tepid love affairs of its principal characters, Ivan and Francesca, nor in the acts of spite and revenge committed by anonymous villains. Its passion is centered on a devotion to literature, on a celebration of the novel in its purest and finest form. Francesca, the lonely and elegant wife of a Parisian captain of industry, and Ivan, an erstwhile adventurer and seller of comic books and classic The gentle tone of this understated novel belies its passion. Francesca, the lonely and elegant wife of a Parisian captain of industry, and Ivan, an erstwhile adventurer and seller of comic books and classic novels, combine forces to open a bookstore in the heart of Paris that has one simple goal: to sell only good novels. They form a secret committee of eight celebrated writers, asking each to submit a list of six hundred titles. These, along with their own choices, form the inventory that fills the shelves of their dream book boutique, The Good Novel. Little do Francesca and Ivan anticipate or understand the firestorm of derision, envy and loathing they unleash within the publishing industry and literati by opening a bookstore that narrowly and exclusively defines what is a Good Novel. Though The Good Novel quickly builds a worldwide following of admirers and subscribers, its owners become the target of vituperative editorials by untraceable academics and libelous slams by internet prowlers. Members of the secret selection committee become targets of attacks that veer perilously close to attempted murder. The thread of the novel follows loosely the path of investigation into these threats by a sympathetic, erudite detective inspector. Rather, it is for the way its passionate intent makes me feel and think. I reflected on the power and beauty of the novel and, even more importantly, on what is truly worthy of my reading time. In their well-lighted space with its strategically placed sofas, Francesca and Ivan want nothing more than to offer their customers the opportunity to discover literature that was written with integrity, passion and truth. Francesca uses an open letter in a respected Parisian daily newspaper to respond to the attacks from writers whose works were deliberately excluded, from literary prize committees that have long assumed the role of arbiter of novels, and from the powerful publishing agencies that serve as cultural gatekeepers. It has become necessary to come to their defense and promote them relentlessly, because it is an illusion to thing that they have the power to radiate all by themselves. We want splendid books, books that immerse us in the splendor of reality and keep us there; books that prove to us that love is at work in the world next to evil, right up against it We want books that leave nothing out: neither human tragedy nor everyday wonders, books that bring fresh air to our lungs. And even if there is only one such book per decade… that would be enough. We want nothing else. Alas, amidst the Austen and Twain, my shop would feature sections overflowing with tomes on food and wine, heaps of travel literature and guides. Feel free to curl up in an overstuffed wing chair near the 18th century Europeans and lose yourself for an afternoon… View all 7 comments. Dec 05, Lyndsay rated it really liked it. Though the idea that anyone can decide what is a "good" book is a difficult premise to support, I think most book lovers understand and possibly support the concept If being discerning makes me an elitist then sign me up! I'm not hurting anyone but myself. As much fun as it is to read the latest , we know in the back of our heads that it is candy for the brain- not food for the soul.

But it did make vacation wonderful as my brain shut down. We need that. Books about books are irresistible that way. A place I could go where the staff had conversations about obscure novels I would otherwise never know? I want to be there! I believe that some of the subtleties of the characters must have been lost in translation otherwise how can you explain Anis? Go away, your actions have no motivation. And if it wasn't a language difference, and the characters were that vague and slightly meandering on purpose, I don't think it ruins the book. The whole premise makes you think- who has the authority to dictate taste, or tell us what to buy? And if The Good Novel did open how would you react? Would you be happy, or would you resent them for excluding your tastes? View 2 comments. Nov 18, Christine rated it really liked it Shelves: literature-french , minority-and-women-writers. Over a year ago, I went into my local Borders to buy a copy of Last Watch. The woman behind me in line had a copy as well. We turned to each other and said, "Don't you love him? That's what books do. Now, my local Border's is nothing like the bookstore in this novel, though my local Borders tends to hire readers as booksellers so as long as you know something about the book, they can find it. And as much as I enjoy books, they aren't really part of the But books are important. Reading more than just popular fiction is important. Too often that is all people read, and popular fiction usually doesn't inspire much thought. And that is what this book does. Just read it. I really don't know what else to say. Words fail.

Gripped with excitement for the first half, then dismayed by change of plot direction. However, I DO see that the author had no where else to go but to increase the tension after the blissful first half. Planning, designing, gathering, publicizing, inviting readers, finally launching even a gorgeous Parisian bookstore does not a book make. Except maybe to me and other aficionadas of the independent bookstore. So plot must take its place. I suppose. Still I read on, delighting in the writing, the Gripped with excitement for the first half, then dismayed by change of plot direction. Still I read on, delighting in the writing, the books, their shop's successes. Then suddenly I began to realize this book is going to break my heart, so in love was I with the premise. As much as I wanted to read it continuously, like in the old days before opening Andes Books, I had to stop, engage with my own customers, talk about their book-love, while at the same time casting my mind back on ways to protect darling, brave, wise Francesca. Then comes one paragraph near the end, when Cosse makes the whole plot into a metaphor that made me suddenly grasp the reason for the bookstore motif and a reason for its rising tension. She, with seeming subtleness and ease, is delicately and incisively, examining the bankruptcy of conspiracy theories. Why paranoia of another, let's say, nationality, party, tribe, religion is not rational. We've had so many opportunities to consider there MUST be conspiracy plots afoot, that to read a sane and wise explanation is astonishing. And all under the guise of loving bookstores -- or not. Brilliant book. With the side effect of reading about books. May not be five stars but that's what I got out of it, worth five stars to me. And thank you, daughter, for an apt birthday present -- considering our family history. View all 4 comments.

Shelves: should-ve-been-shorter , mysteriesthrillers. What do French novels and have in common? Well, if I got your attention with that question, my first answer is a disclaimer -- I have limited exposure to both and probably shouldn't be making judgments. But I won't let that stop me from offering my second answer, which is that both seem to create a great deal of drama around a nothing premise. Maybe "nothing premise" isn't really fair or accurate. There was a premise here. As a little aside, I must once again reference Daniel's review where he asks why books feel this constant need to justify their existence, particularly when they're clearly preaching to the choir -- if you're choosing to spend your limited leisure time reading this book, you probably already think books are pretty awesome. Having said that, this is arguably one of the better examples of this genre. A wealthy heiress and off-the-beaten-path bookseller collaborate to open a bookstore which is clearly meant to shove it in the face of all those mega-bookstores out there -- instead of a large multi-story complex, this small bookstore is highly selective and only includes "good novels" -- those nominated by a secret committee of high-brow authors. And here's the rub -- the members of the committee are top secret! Oh, if this gets out! Whatever shall we do? Well, maybe I just don't get French culture but I couldn't understand why Renee, the concierge in The Elegance of the Hedgehog , was so desperate to hide her literary interests and here too, the need for absolute secrecy wasn't at all clear to me. But it created drama, so I guess we'll just have to accept it. What was even more dramatic was the reaction to this bookstore's initial wild success. Oh, the anger. Oh, the wrath. Again, maybe I just don't get France. Isn't it a free country? Can't anyone open whatever kind of bookstore they want to, selective, mass-market, whatever? Can't people simply vote with their feet if they don't like the bookstore? Why all this intensity? But what starts as internet flaming eventually culminates on physical attacks on a few of the secret committee members gasp! How did the secret ever get out? There's also a love story which was pretty unimpressive. I hate to say it, but it's kind of ironic when a novel glorifying good novels doesn't manage to be one. I'm being a little harsh here. It kept me reading until the end, and I was in fact charmed by the fantasy of a selective bookstore stocked with only good novels although I have to add here that in my experience, authors actually aren't always the best sources of book recommendations. I wasn't crazy about many of the book's on Stephen King's must-read list, and I also haven't been thrilled with a lot of other author's recommendations. And I think some of my distance could be attributed to the not-particularly-eloquent translation, for which I can't blame the author or the book. So I'll give this three stars because it had its redeeming features, and probably most goodreaders would appreciate the fantasy of a store which is kind of like goodreads in real time. Jul 21, Triciareader added it. I love Europa editions. I had to buy this book because I loved it so much - I want to go through the book and make a list of the books which they recommend and start reading them. There are two pages mid-book that I want to see as a poster These exceptional books are often not very well- known, and I love Europa editions. These exceptional books are often not very well-known, and are in constant danger of being forgotten, and in today's world, where the number of books being published is considerable, the power of marketing and the cynicism of business have joined forces to keep those extraordinary books indistinguishable from millions of insignificant, not to say pointless books. But those masterful novels are live-giving. It has become necessary to come to their defense and promote them relentlessly because it is an illusion to think that they have the power to radiate all by themselves. That alone is our ambition. It will not be for everyone, as the good novels they promote are not for everyone, but it is a masterful work, which should appeal to book-lovers everywhere. Apr 15, M rated it really liked it. In essence it would be the living breathing physical version of my goodreads list. I think that most people who love reading have such fantasies, because we know what it is to walk into a bookstore and need help, far more help than the formal labels of mystery and historical fiction can ever give. I want an average star rating, I want Amazon comments, I want to know what to read and what won't waste my time and money. For this reason, A Novel Bookstore was bound to steal my heart for the premise alone- a bookstore that is built upon a desire to have only truly good reads in the bookstore.
