In a bookstore in Rouen, a bookseller is preparing for the literary season. For more than a month, she chained the novels to unearth the rare pearl.
In Rouen (Seine-et-Marne), birthplace of Gustave Flaubert, the literary season is a small event. In a downtown bookstore, readers are already on the lookout for new items. On the shelves, novelties are already waiting for readers and continue to arrive. “This period, from August 15, it’s non-stop until December“, explains Roselyne Robin, a bookseller. This literary meeting was prepared upstream, on the bookstore floors. Here, the booksellers received the titles for the start of the school year in early June.
“The crush”
“It is truly our privilege. That leaves us a month, a month and a half to be able to read the novels before the start of the school year.“, says Roselyne Robin. Among all these titles, there are the big releases of the expected authors, such as Serge Joncour, Amélie Nothomb or François Bégaudeau. However, it is a drop of water among the 466 novelties. Roselyne also wishes to introduce its readers to less publicized authors. It seeks the “rare pearl, the crush“.
