I visited the WHSmith store in Chippenham yesterday. In their books department I noticed a new section - along with Biography, Cookery, Fiction A-Z etc. The section was called Tragic Life Stories. Who goes into a bookshop thinking: "I must just find myself a tragic life story to read" ?? |

On 11th January 2008 16:12 (UTC), an anonymous reader commented: tragic life stories Ah, my dear - have you then missed the appearance of a whole new genre called 'misery-lit'? Sadly, once your eyes are opened to it, you will see it everywhere there are books for sale... Let us hope it will soon pass. |
