Sada malo srpskog za početnike i sve ostale.
Sajam knjiga.
Prvi utisak je pozitivan, nisu me gurali i gnjavili, nisu vidljivo visile bubice iz ušiju, nije bilo preterano montiranih ribetina za odlikaše, jesu suknje bile kratke tu i tamo ali je sve bilo cool i intelektualno, sa ukočenim osmesima i udaranjem po leđima. Svakako je bilo važno biti viđen na manifetaciji.
Ja viđena. Or something. Padali i komplimenti. A što bih se ja zbabala a sve cveta?
Naravno, u prolazu laki i teški gossip, to ne mogu da pamtim. Izvinjavam se Danilu Nikoliću, koga sam videla samo izdaleka.Vi me niste videli, ali pozdrav vam dugujem.
Dragan Velikić primetio da u izdavačkom lancu od knjiga žive svi sem pisaca- knjižari, prelamači, vozači...S tim se valjda valja pomiriti. Malo ko živi od knjiga, sem Braun Dena i sl.
Sajam je pravo mesto za samopromociju i mesto za valjanje marketinških patcheva.
Počasni štand Grčke bio je aposultno najprijatnije mesto. Lepi ljudi, lep koktel, prijatna uzdržanost, dirljiva, vekovna pristojnost. ne sliče nam Grci previše, šta god mi mislili.
Izdavači, koje dobro poznajem, viđam preko godine, neki od njih su mi tražili i rukopis, neki su mi bili saputnici - na sajmu su nedodirljivi. Predstavnici vlasti i izdavači iz tog prstena moći otskakali su po pozi, kao i obično. Onako, malo. Uvek je važno biti važan a još važnije biti važniji, a najvažnije biti najvažniji.
Yes, sirs, važnost ste postigli. A i nevažnost, kako se uzme.
Naravno, po veličini štandova i po tome sa kakvom pažnjom im je određena lokacija jasno je ko je bliži do prestola, ali to je stara priča. Službeni glanik rulz, gazi, melje. Na istom mestu rekla bih ostali su Geopoetika, Clio,Stubovi kulture. Gotivim ih, gotivim i Glasnik, mada je kao piramida. Ne zna se gde je ufur . Ali najgotivim ove malešne kao Okean i slične. Novinari koji prate sajam i izdavaštvo ne pišu dovoljno oštro i ambiciozno, zavarani maglom da pišu o kulturnim stvarima i kulturnom svetu.
Izdavačka surovost ne poznaje granice, toga bi novinari uvek trebalo da budu svesni kad ih izdavači iscimaju na pres konferencije da im predstave svoje viđenje stvari i produkciju, što btw mogu da urade i slanjem informacija elektronskim putem. Niste dužni da prenosite doslovno hvalospeve. Ali ste dužni da redovno pratite produkciju, a ne po babi i stričevima. Molim vas pogledajte kako piše Ron Čarls iz Washposta i sl. Možete ga pratiti na twitteru @roncharls. U Americi industrija knjige jeste industrija ali zato prikazi knjiga imaju aposlutan balans.
Kupila sma jednu knjigu, vidim da sam stara po činjenici da sam u stanju da knjigu čekam godinu dana. Kupiću još jednu Bog za zbunjene. Nju sam već kupila i ukrali su mi je prošle godine.
Da završim prve utiske o sajmu:
Uvek je lepo kad profesionalci obuku odela, a publika može kako hoće.

Still reckoning what would be the purpose of my blog writing.
Well, I would start with my notes-in spite I already know what I know and what I think about- considering writing, publishing, book production.
Just recently understood I hate books, love writing
Very few writers I like, less and less I read, very few I hang around with.
Truly I am interested only in writing-s compatible with my own. Very little interest in different. Unless beautiful stories unfold. This not apply to theory only, of course- but let it be good!!!
Camilla Paglia?
Anica Savic Rebac ?
Ketty Acker, why did you leave so early?

Philip Roth joins his own tribute bus tour in Newark
Taking in the landmarks of his novels, from Weequahic Park in The Plot Against America to Goodbye, Columbus's Newark Museum, the Philip Roth bus tour is a must for fans visiting his stomping ground of Newark. But graduates of Weequahic High School were given an extra bonus this weekend when the author himself joined the tour as a surprise guest.

Dirty little secret to share
- I started this blog not to bother my friends on FB and Twitter with my logorea.
Having in mind I have some friends following me which/whom are not of this world material like for example Ancient Egypt etc I really don't want to be immature, pushy and boring to pharaos and other more than respectable entities.

I love this one, part of the interview Malcolm Gladwell in Time.
If you had a single piece of advice to offer young journalists, what would it be?
The issue is not writing. It's what you write about. One of my favorite columnists is Jonathan Weil, who writes for Bloomberg. He broke the Enron story, and he broke it because he's one of the very few mainstream journalists in America who really knows how to read a balance sheet. That means Jonathan Weil will always have a job, and will always be read, and will always have something interesting to say. He's unique. Most accountants don't write articles, and most journalists don't know anything about accounting. Aspiring journalists should stop going to journalism programs and go to some other kind of grad school. If I was studying today, I would go get a master's in statistics, and maybe do a bunch of accounting courses and then write from that perspective. I think that's the way to survive. The role of the generalist is diminishing. Journalism has to get smarter.

So, seems I've started blog, which until recently was for me meter of mockery.
I fell right of my high horse on my head.
Well, nobody is perfect.
I will share some of my mental magma, but don't expect me to share for FREE all that brilliance.
Joking, but nothing much to say now.
Or, at least not for Џ, as we say in Serbia:)
