We’ve often said that every day the book business looks more and more like the movie business. That contention has been reinforced by the tsunami of video trailers promoting books. Many of these “coming attractions” are clever, some brilliant, and a few worthy of viewing in a movie theater. And of course a great many more are tacky, pretentious, and painfully amateurish. Book trailers were a great idea when the first few were released but now, like every other popular art form, the mediocre has debased the good, and everything has been homogenized into a brownish gumbo.
Dennis Johnson, founder of he MobyLives book blog, decided to poll his readers on the best and worst book trailers. The results, reported by Julie Bosman in the New York Times, include a ” best performance for an author” by Dennis Cass (Head Case) showing him on his cellphone discussing his efforts to hype his paperback. Jonathan Safran Foer did not fare so well, copping a “most annoying” award for his video about Eating Animals. Because it’s human nature to prefer gazing at something terrible than at something good, we’re exhibiting the latter below.
Every Blogger owes a debt of gratitude to newspapers and magazines. This posting relies on original research and reporting performed by the New York Times.
