Londra, capitale del turismo letterario mondiale, secondo l’ana-lisi di molti addetti ai lavori. Ma anche centro di riferimento dellaindustria editoriale e crocevia di impulsi creativi. Dopo il repor-tage su NewYork, ecco il resoconto delle atmosfere e delle sen-

sazioni che un soggiornolondinese propone a chiami la letteratura ed i libri.Passeggiando per Londranon si può non ‘imbattersi’nella letteratura, usatacome chiave suggestiva dicaratterizzazione dei posti,come pretesto per raccon-tare una città diversa,come fil rouge per costruireuna esperienza che nonsia solo soggiorno maesperienza legata ai luoghi,alle attività, ad un quoti-diano creativamente stimo-lante. Guardando il tuttocon gli occhi dell’addetto ailavori, emerge una valoriz-zazione di fondo del patri-monio monumentale,culturale ed antropologicomediante lo strumento let-terario in prospettiva eco-nomica. In poche parole: lacultura diventa un (vero) af-fare, capace di produrrevalore per tanti, e la proie-

zione ‘letteraria’ di questa strategia è solo uno degli esempi dicome la ‘Cool Britannia’ coniata da Blair rimanga ancora esempre un prezioso modello per tutte le città che vogliano se-guire la strada di uno sviluppo sostenibile e low cost, orientatoalla valorizzazione delle risorse interne al sistema.Alcune storie della Londra literary-oriented, tanto per comin-ciare?Il Poeta diWimbledonDal 2009 il celebre torneo di tennis londinese ha chiesto a deipoeti (Niall O’Sullivan, Nii Parkes e Roger Robinson)di produrredelle opere ispirate al tema ‘trionfo e disastro’ ed ai momenti digioco. Nel 2010 l’organizzazione ha deciso di ospitare Matt Har-vey, incaricato di offrire una visione emozionale delle atmosferedel torneo, con poesie composte dai campi e pubblicate sul sitoufficiale dell’evento www.wimbledon.org (anche in versione pod-cast).Racconti dall’aeroportoAltra ‘residenza d’artista’ quella organizzata nel 2009 dal mana-

gement dell’aeroporto internazionale di Heathrow per lo scrit-tore Alain de Botton, il quale ha soggiornato per sette giorninei Terminal scrivendo una sorta di diario narrativo ambientatonello scalo londinese.Una Metropolitana… ‘letteraria’Da sempre la rete della metropolitana di Londra è consideratauna icona evocativa oltre che una ‘semplice’ infrastruttura ur-bana. Per sottolinearne la peculiarità è attivo da anni il progettoPlatform For Arts, teso ad ambientare esperienze artistichenelle stazioni della Tube. Non sono mancati i Racconti dellaPiccadilly Line, affidati a diversi scrittori, ed anche l’identitàgrafica della mappa di quest’anno, commissionata a BarbaraKruger, la dice lunga.D’altronde, cosa potreste aspettarvi di meno da una città nellaquale affiggono manifesti come questo? Buon viaggio a tutti, al-lora!

1/ Libri ‘in cartellone’Girare per Londra sarebbe molto lungo e difficile (come in ognimetropoli, d’altronde) rinunciando ad utilizzare l’imponente retedi trasporto pubblico.Metropolitana ed autobus accolgono esmistano centinaia di migliaia di persone che animano Londraper lavoro, svago, studio, turismo. Centinaia di migliaia di per-sone, un ghiotto obiettivo per i pubblicitari e chiunque voglia‘fare mercato’ per i propri prodotti, ovviamente. Una cosa chesalta agli occhi – venendo dall’Italia – è la presenza di moltis-simi cartelloni pubblicitari dedicati ai libri, cosa che non ac-cade nel nostro paese. Lo schema è essenziale ma efficace.Non solo la copertina, ma una grafica generale a commento edun breve slogan che racchiude il senso – evocativo ed emozio-nale – della storia. Marketing tradizionale ed all’osso, eppure ri-tenuto capace di stimolare le voglie di potenziali lettori, con uninvestimento evidentemente ripagato dal ritorno di vendite.Senza voler entrare nel merito delle scelte degli editori italiani, iquali avranno forse sondato l’ipotesi, bocciandola, ad uno

sguardo profano pare che ancora una volta il prodotto-librovenga in qualche misura svilito e ‘confinato’ in una dinamica dipromozione dai meccanismi abbastanza ingessati. Passapa-rola, recensioni su (alcuni) giornali e riviste, magari qualchespazio in telvisione (della durata massima di trenta secondi –un minuto). Saranno sciocchezze, eppure posso garantire cheprendendo la metropolitana ogni giorno, e partendo dalla e tor-nando alla medesima stazione, ho potuto ‘affezionarmi’ ai libripubblicizzati, dei quali ricordo titoli e slogan, pur essendoci pas-sato davanti senza soffermarmici con attenzione. Pubblicità vec-chia maniera, appunto. Ma siamo sicuri che il pubblico italianosia così diverso da quello inglese?

2/ Biblioteche? Parliamone (nel vero sensodella parola)!

Uno dei monumenti nazio-nali della capitale di Londraè senz’altro la gigantescaBritish Library, meta distudenti, studiosi, semplicicuriosi. Una sorta di catte-drale della cultura, un al-veare non particolarmentesuggestivo per l’impiantoarchitettonico quanto per ilcontenuto. Milioni di volumi,una organizzazione funzio-nale ed efficiente. Eccel-lente struttura, senzadubbio. Nei giorni della miapermanenza presso la BL

era organizzata una mostra, che raccoglieva una bellissimaserie di documenti cartografici, sottolineando la loro valenza so-spesa tra rilievo artistico e funzione strumentale alla propa-ganda politica attraverso i secoli, intitolata Magnificent Maps:Power, Propaganda and Art. Ingresso gratuito, tutta la setti-mana. Bella, senza dubbio. Niente di diverso da molte meritevoliattività che animano la vita delle biblioteche italiane, superiorialla ‘collega’ britannica per struttura architettonica ed impiantomonumentale. Ma il punto dolente è che io – turista in visita perpochi giorni – ho avuto occasione di conoscere l’iniziativa graziealla campagna di affissioni in metropolitana. Niente di trascen-dentale, ma una iniziativa capillare utile, laddove molti appunta-menti culturali rimangono assolutamente sepolti o esclusi dalcircuito mediatico. Fin qui niente di trascendentale, ordinariaamministrazione. Ma è cominciando dalle cose elementari chesi costruisce qualcosa di importante. Quando cominciamo?

3/ Una ‘biblioteca di quartiere’ diffusaNell’era della condivisione fiori-scono le formule per mettere in co-mune oggetti del quotidiano (e non

solo). A Londra ho trovato – sulle pagine di uno dei molti gior-nali in distribuzione gratuita – la notizia riguardante ‘l’esplosione’di un nuovo sito, Streetbank (‘Banca di strada’ – ndr), che re-gala l’opportunità di iscriversi ad una comunità che mette a di-sposizione degli altri oggetti di varia natura nel raggio di unmiglio (oltre milleottocento metri) da casa propria. Il meccani-smo – come illustrava bene l’intervista nell’articolo ad uno deifondatori del sito – offre la possibilità di ridurre gli sprechi ed au-mentare il benessere, ma uno dei dati più sorprendenti è la for-tissima presenza di libri nel database. Si è andata costituendouna enorme ‘biblioteca di quartiere’ la cui struttura è diffusasul territorio, con i confini definiti dalla posizione di ciascunutente. Un illuminante esperimento in crescita costante.

4/ L’e-book giocattolo…ma non troppoNuovi lettori crescono. Sotto l’albero dei bambini inglesi è previ-sto un lettore di e-book studiato appositamente per loro,con storie calibrate sulla loro sensibilità sempre più interattiva.Libri elettronici arricchiti di animazioni (è il testo stesso a muo-versi nella pagina, alternandosi ad immagini in alcune fasi). Inpiù, possibile ricorrere ad un dizionario apposito (mediante unsolo tasto, e molti giochi audio e video collegati alla storia rac-contata nel libro elettronico, per creare sempre maggiore imme-desimazione nella esperienza di lettura. Diavoleria? Sacrilegio?Tradimento dei massimi principi del bibliofilo? Secondo noi sem-plicemente un passo in avanti verso un futuro che – lungi dal-l’essere evitabile – può divenire almeno interessante, seguardato con la giusta dose di curiosità. Molte ricerche svelanoche i ‘ragazzi di oggi’ (categoria di cui si abusa in nome dellasua palese approssimazione) non solo leggono, ma scrivono

molto più di quanto non facessimo noi ‘vecchi’ quando eravamodall’altra parte della barricata, usufruendo di strumenti più at-trattivi e stimolanti. Il nuovo ‘giocattolo’, cui era dedicata la ve-trina principale del più grosso negozio di giocattoli di RegentStreet (nel centro elegante e commerciale di Londra, per ca-pirci) si chiama, Storio Animated E-Book Reader. L’età consi-gliata per i fruitori era di 3-7 anni, il prezzo di quasi 80 euro.Neanche tanto per aiutare a costruire appassionati di lettura eletteratura.

5/ Viaggiare tra (e con) i libriLibrerie di nicchia. Alle volte la nicchia è tanto grande che potre-ste perdervici. È quello che capita entrando da Stanfords, non

‘una’ quanto ‘la’ libreria di viaggio, con uno slogan (‘Explore, di-scover, inspire’ – esplorare, scoprire, ispirare – ndr) che non tra-disce nulla dello spirito omnicomprensivo di quella che èriconosciuta come la più grande libreria di viaggio del mondo.Guide di viaggio, mappe, ma anche libri di narrativa e designispirati a temi che il viaggio lo lambiscono. Un catalogo che‘apre’ la nicchia, arrivando a proiettare la propria luce specificaanche su tematiche complementari. la parte più interessante re-lativa ad una libreria come questa è la innegabile capacità di ar-ticolare l’identità di un semplice esercizio commerciale come unsantuario dedicato ad una passione comune, con i gadget a se-gnare la disponibilità del pubblico a regalare ‘tributi’ a questi luo-ghi di culto. Non solo libri e lettura, ma anche suggerimenti dilettura, di escursioni, di viaggio. Qualcuno potrà sostenere chesi tratta di uno degli ennesimi ‘imbastardimenti’ delle librerie, ma

siamo lontani anni luce dalla confusa realtà di molte delle libre-rie di catena nostrane trasformate (laddove non lo siano addirit-tura nate) in ‘media shop’, con articoli elettronici, dvd e cd aschiacciare lo spazio dei libri. Un giusto compromesso – quellodell’ampliamento prospettico dell’orizzonte commerciale – checoltivato nella maniera giusta, portando dunque nel format ‘li-breria’ tutti gli elementi di un mondo di passioni, consentono aduna impresa culturale di sopravvivere e prosperare nel centro diuna capitale del mondo come Londra, a due passi dal mercatodi Covent Garden e da Piccadilly Circus, nel pieno di una dellearee a più alto tasso di rendimento immobiliare del mondo(leggi: con affitti alle stelle!).

6/ Il ‘Book Change’È il ‘papà’ del bookcrossing (se non il nonno). Si parla di ‘ba-ratto’ dei libri: ne lasci uno, ne prendi uno. C’è chi mette a dispo-sizione lo spazio per stoccare i volumi ed offrirli al pubblico,come il Crema Caffè, piccolo ma accogliente locale immersonella cornice di Camden Lock, a due passi dal mitico CamdenTown, il mercatino vintage più famoso di Londra assieme aquello di Spitalfield. Una idea semplice ma geniale quella delBook Change, annunciato nell’occasione da una scritta su unapiccola lavagna all’interno del locale. Un invito alla condivisionedei libri, strizzando l’occhio alla filosofia del libro ‘libero’ di giraredopo aver esaurito la sua funzione di avere intrattenuto, interes-sato, accompagnato il lettore attraverso una piccola parte dellasua vita. Qualunque convinto assertore del possesso comeparte integrante del piacere connesso ad un libro troverà lacosa imponderabile, ma domandando agli esercenti del barcome procede il meccanismo predisposto da loro si scopre chesono in tanti ad accettare il gioco, associando il piacere di leg-

gere un libro ‘scoprendolo’ a quello di far leggere agli altri untesto che è piaciuto in maniera particolare. È un sistema che –messo a regime nel modo più adeguato e strutturato – può of-frire una occasione di divulgazione di libri (magari di autoriemergenti) in un contesto ampio ed ulteriore rispetto a quellodelle librerie, impossibilitate dal numero di testi editi ogni anno(ogni giorno?!?!) ad offrirli tutti all’attenzione del pubblico poten-ziale. Un altro sistema di generare il mai abbastanza invocato‘passaparola’. Ancora una volta, le idee più semplici si dimo-strano le più fruttuose.

7/ La libreria ‘solidale’È una formula che vive già da qualche anno in Gran Bretagna(ma anche in Francia, in verità). Sono librerie ‘solidali’, che ac-quisiscono la merce da vendere al pubblico dalle donazioni dichi voglia contribuire alla loro missione. I ricavato vengono infattireinvestiti in toto nel sostegno a cause prescelte ed indicatechiaramente nel loro statuto. Questo lo spirito della catena dellaOxfam bookshops, che rientrano (con circa cento librerie spe-cializzate) in una catena di oltre 750 negozi di varia natura. Laraccolta dei testi avviene mediante le librerie stesse ed anche

tramite le Banche del Libro Oxfam, centri di conferimento semi-nati su tutto il territorio. Ognuna di queste piccole aziende contasul lavoro di una cinquantina di volontari, addetti a gestire laprocedura di raccolta dei libri da vendere, promuovere la mis-sione, animare con eventi ed iniziative la vita di queste vere eproprie librerie no profit. Una definizione che suona amara per

il pubblico italiano (e non solo), con gli appassionati costretti adassistere ad un progressivo impoverimento del numero degliesercizi commerciali dedicati alla letteratura. Polemiche sonostate elevate anche da queste parti, con le librerie solidali accu-sate di depauperare il bacino potenziale di utenza delle librerie‘normali’, ponendosi in una condizione di concorrenza sleale(pur se a fini nobili), grazie al regime fiscale agevolato – legatoalla loro peculiare condizione di enti con vocazione assisten-ziale – ed all’annullamento dei costi di approvvigionamento. Dapar loro i responsabili di Oxfam ribattono che la crisi delle libre-rie indipendenti è causata dalla presenza e dalla politica dellegrandi catene librarie. Noi non sapremmo da quale parte schie-rarci, ma pare indubbio che – comunque sia – il ‘circuito dellibro’ di matrice britannica sia estremamente più complesso edarticolato di quello italiano, e che come possibile fonte di ispira-zione ed apprendimento debba essere considerato.

8/ Il magazine delle ispirazioni letterarieLo trovate in molte librerie londinesi. Si chiama Smoke: a Lon-don peculiar, ed è stata una delle sorprese che mi ha partico-larmente ‘ingentilito il cor’ facendomi innamorare della Londracapitale letteraria. Un magazine che gli editori stessi defini-scono una ‘fanzine’ dedicata alla città, realizzata grazie ai con-tributi dei lettori-autori. Non è solo una operazione oleograficacome spesso le intendiamo noi italiani, quanto – per stare allalettera di chi l’iniziativa l’ha concepita e portata avanti – “…unalettera d’amore a Londra”, scritta per testi (narrativi e poetici),immagini fotografiche ed illustrazioni. Un atto d’amore che di-

venta uno scrap-book (taccuinocontenente memo-rie personali me-diante foto, ritagli,annotazioni ecc.)contenente fram-menti di memoriaimmaginifica ed im-maginativa di chivive la città giornoper giorno. È offrireuna prospettiva di-versa da osservatoriconsueti, in unacittà che incoraggiagli artisti ed i creativiin genere, riser-vando loro piccolima significativi spazidi esposizione edespressione (pensoalla massiccia pre-

senza di giovanissimi designer nel mercato di Brick Lane, perdirne uno). È un progetto che vuole costruire una consapevo-lezza emozionale e partecipativa dei londinesi d’origine e diadozione, usando il linguaggio dell’arte e della creatività. Non sipuò sperare molto di meglio.

9/ Libri ‘fuori posto’ al posto giustoLibri ‘invadenti’ ed invasivi. Questa è una delle ricette, una delleformule perfettamente declinate dai londinesi nella interpreta-zione delle loro attività commerciali. È abbastanza frequente en-trare in negozi (di cibarie, abbigliamento, design) e trovarvi unpiccolo – ma significativo – spazio dedicato ad una selezionedi testi dedicati o legati all’argomento. Una piccola biblioteca avolte ornamentale (pensata per ‘arredare’ il locale e regalareun attimo di curioso approfondimento agli avventori), a volte co-struita a scopo commerciale. Non solo saggi e libri ‘tecnici’, maanche romanzi ‘vicini’ alla vocazione del negozio, abbinati dal-

l’istinto e dalgusto del com-merciante allanatura della pro-pria attività. Unmodo per com-pletare l’offertaemozionale efunzionale di unesercizio com-merciale mo-derno edispirato al retailesperienziale.È capitato di tro-vare qualcosadel genereanche in unodegli shop delloStable Market(come si vedenell’immagine):un cartello (pur

rudimentale nella realizzazione) indica chiaramente la presenzadi libri in argomento all’interno. Un canale di distribuzione ul-teriore ed alternativo da analizzare ed esplorare, magari conpiccoli tenativi-pilota da parte di piccoli e medi editori specializ-zati per andare incontro al loro pubblico potenziale anche inmodi inconsueti, senza i vincoli di spazio dei quali le stesse li-brerie spesso soffrono.

London BookTrip/11: Il mercato del libro di se-conda manoUltima tappa di questa ‘escursione letteraria’ nella capitale lon-dinese, ilWaterloo Secondhand Book Market, un classicomercatino del libro di seconda mano dalle parti di South Bank, apoca distanza dalla Tate Modern e dal National Theater, unappuntamento di rito della domenica mattina per residenti e turi-sti. La peculiarità è infatti che l’iniziativa è regolarmente segna-lata da tutto il sistema turistico della capitale britannica, siaon-line che su supporti cartacei. Una attrazione nel senso pienodel termine, riconosciuta e trattata come tale. Niente a che ve-dere con il fascino estetico dei bouquinistes parigini – assai più

accattivanti con i loro caratteristici espositori in legno e la vistasu Notre Dame – ma un punto di ritrovo buono per appassionatia caccia di tesori letterari d’occasione, con prezzi dei libri cheoscillano tra tre e sei pound. L’esposizione di libri ‘protetta’ dallastruttura del Waterloo Bridge dall’alto ed ‘accompagnata’ dalflusso tranquillo del Tamigi al fianco è il classico paradiso del-l’esploratore librario: impossibile sperare di trovare un deter-minato libro che si cercava riferendosi a criteri di sistemazionedei volumi (per quello ci sono le librerie), vista l’assoluta casua-lità del loro posizionamento sulle enormi bancarelle (quasi isolefluviali, si direbbe). Possibilissimo invece imbattersi nel libro ‘asorpresa’, quello che non si pensava o non si sperava di tro-vare, comprese alcune edizioni di testi introvabili risalenti a tutti iperiodi del ‘900. Bisogna essere fortunati, certo, ma la fortuna –come recita l’adagio – premia solo gli audaci.

eething I really don't understand too hot. You never know where the hell you are. I keep making up these sex rules for myself,and then I break them right away. Last year I made a rule that I was going to quit horsing around

Every time they do somethinp f they're not much to look at,or even if they're sort of stupid,you fall half in love with them,and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can. I mean most girls as nd all. After you neck them for a while,you can really watch them losing their brains. You take a girl when she really gets passionate,she just hasn't any brains."Take most people,they're crazy about cars. They worry if they gel ch on them,and they're always talking about how many miles they get to a gallon,and if they get a brand-new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that's even newer. I don't even like old cars. I mean they doe est me. I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human,for God's sake."Boy,when you're dead,they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or somethinA except sticking me in a goddam cemetery.

What I have to do,I have to catch everybody if they start to got I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day.

It may be the kind where,at the age of thirty,you sit in some bar hating everybody who comes in looking as im have played football in college. Then again,you may pick up just enough education to hate people who say,'It's a secret between he and I.' Or you may end up in some business office,throwing paper clips at the nearest stenographer.j on't know." "This fall I think you're riding for - it's a special kind of fall,a horrible kind. The man falling isn't permitted to feel or hear himself hit bottom. He just keeps falling and falling. The whole arrangement's designed for men wa me time or other in their lives,were looking for something their own environment couldn't supply them with. Or they thought their own environment couldn't supply them with. So they gave up looking. They gave it up before they evr y even got started."
