letters and numbers have always maintained a close relationship throughout history, sometimes complex, impossible in others, but always very aware of each other. (...) This translates into a literary market which has begun to transform the landscape in search of safety. "Great authors sell more than ever and harder to throw the newcomers," says Anik Lapointe, editor of RBA (...) "Classical literature is sold very little, a lot less than before," says Eva Cuenca Mondadori. (...) One thing all editors surveyed agree precisely on what they call "the disappearing middle class." This nebula populated by writers who were key to qualify the catalogs and a solid base of readers is now being undermined as the market turns and leans toward one or the other end. (...) To Anik Lapointe, RBA, the aforementioned black genre is the great beneficiary of the current economic situation. (...) The point is that the detective sagas had never been as popular as now, RBA (...) The editor also points to other such factors do not drink in the economic drought and connecting with other recent boom "The books belonging to a series in which the protagonist is repeated from one volume to another, it also generates excellent performance and in some ways reminiscent of the episodic format of television, which is something that hooks a lot.

And then there are the vampire novels on the shelves brimming with "News." Another genre beneficiary of the current economic situation. These beings are so degraded as the middle class neurotic, sad and hopelessly mortal. Where is the sensuality and the rays of the sun? Now they are so cool , instead of incinerated with the light of day, they were filled with body glitter. A species for Green Peace, I say. "And what about the issues cliché?

"Is something that hooks a lot."
take another little coffee. It must be that there are days when one wakes up with clouds to Pessoa: "There are times when all tires, even what we would rest." One thing I wonder: do we really middle class is disappearing as an author and literary reading? From my point of view, in recent decades the economic and social consumption of this kind has been acquired by a larger sector of the population. It has improved the economic level but did it have acquired these new worlds and imaginary values \u200b\u200bthat has been defined orthodoxy in this article as "middle class"?
