Funny you should say that about The Line of Beauty never making it to paperback. Here in Poland you have a similar situation with Ryszard Kapu?ci?ski’s works. Despite all the blather about how wonderful he was (a national treasure) how important reading is, how we should encourage our children to read (“Ca?a Polska czyta” – All Poland is reading – is the name of a literacy campaign here) and so on and smugly on I have not seen a single paperback edition of any of Kapu?ci?ski’s books for sale (and the publishers (or distributors) were remarkably slow to re-issue even the hardbacks). If you listen to the money rather than the editorials, the message is clear: reading is for the well-off. Affordable paperbacks? No thanks.
