Even in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, you have to be wary of sleeping water. In recent weeks, publishers have not only been preparing for the next literary season or waiting for the outcome of the endless soap opera of the takeover of Hachette (sector leader in France) by Vivendi, which had to offload Editis (number two in the French market) for competitive reasons; a montage which has just received the blank check, subject to conditions, from Brussels.
“All my publishers have been contacted recently but without success,” confides the boss of a well-known general literature house in the area. He is far from alone in this situation. If the production of the French edition will not necessarily move because it is dictated by demand, a game of musical chairs is preparing that some do not hesitate to qualify as potentially without equivalent in the history of the tricolor sector.
