Living in the throes of Amour: Exploring love's enchanting journey
In a nod to the prowess of fictional storytelling, the creator of Malavita and All Love Stories Have Been Told, Except One weaves his own family's tale in the gripping Porca miseria. Now, this narrative legend steps into the shoes of an embattled editor on the brink of publishing house bankruptcy.
Bertrand Dumas has but one night to stave off his publication's impending doom. As he looks back on the past four decades, he reminisces about the endless books he's nurtured – his children. Regret festers over the blockbuster novels he let slip through his fingers due to questionable judgement, as he longed to discover the next literary prodigy.
His roster of authors – prickly at times, downright unbearable at others – formed his second family, overshadowing his own. With a hint of masochism, he sidesteps the number of years he's spent wrapped up in the literary world: a whopping six years, a tenth of his life.
With despair gripping him and a parade of fictional authors dancing through his memories, Tonino Benacquista's protagonist struggles to elicit any emotions from readers. His quick wit and grandiloquent speeches fail to resonate, which is nothing short of a pity.
Based on Untrue Facts
By Tonino Benacquista, the celebrated French author, this book may not exist as the title suggests. Nevertheless, Benacquista has made a name for himself in crime fiction, comics, and screenwriting, born on September 1, 1961, in Choisy-le-Roi, France[1]. If you're seeking a specific plot for a Tonino Benacquista novel, double-check the title to ensure accuracy.
Despite Bertrand Dumas's extensive career in publishing, he regrets the novels he let slip away due to calculating judgments. Even though he's invested over six years, a tenth of his life, into the literary world, his roster of authors often overshadowed his family. Regardless of his embattled position in the publishing industry, Dumas believes in the power of books, considering them his children. Such is the case in the dramatized tale of Porca miseria, created by the same mastermind who gave us Malavita and All Love Stories Have Been Told, Except One.
