Quem as não tem...
Qual é o escritor que não Adora cartas de rejeições, hum?
(Inserir modo sarcástico*aqui*.)
The Letters that Publishers Wish they'd never Sent
Exemplos:
The Diary of Anne Frank
‘The girl doesn’t, it seems to me, have a special perception or feeling which would lift that book above the “curiosity” level.’
Lust for Life by Irving Stone
(which was rejected 16 times, but found a publisher and went on to sell about 25 million copies)
‘ A long, dull novel about an artist.’
Animal Farm by George Orwell
‘It is impossible to sell animal stories in the USA’
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
‘... overwhelmingly nauseating, even to an enlightened Freudian … the whole thing is an unsure cross between hideous reality and improbable fantasy. It often becomes a wild neurotic daydream … I recommend that it be buried under a stone for a thousand years.’
