And one more year, the Frankfurt Fair has taken place with the usual in-a-rush up and downs, happy meetings and the exchange of inexcusable readings. Meetings that do not even last twenty minutes, some drinks in the afternoon -more scarce as years pass by-, work dinners and few hours of sleep. There have also been some auctions going on but this year there were more "hot titles" than previous years and that gives more play to the publishers and (let's hope!) more cultural diversity. In general, we had a good impression: publishers agree that they have seen interesting books, after some down years.
Naturally, it has been the most politicized fair for Catalan publishers and agents, but this is another story. A story that maybe next year or the other, agents and publishers will sell and buy to understand what happened in this corner of the world.
