摘要

"Sometimes I write a book in a day," says Irene Smalls, "sometimes it takes years." Ms Smalls, who grew up in Harlem, has been a model, an actress and a government employee, but her favourite pastime is writing children's books. She has published 15, most of them under 40 pages. Children's books can get by with very few words. But what about writing a full-fledged book for grown-ups in a day? No problem, you might think, to judge by the work of Florida Romance Writers, Inc, which recently ran a "book in a day" workshop for would-be writers of pulp fiction. But this turned out to be just a day for planning a book, rather than the hard slog of crafting the words. In 1992 Oxfam, a British charity, challenged some authors to write a short story in a day, then published the result. A tale by Colin Dexter featuring his best-known character, Inspector Morse, is considered not bad. But the print run was only 550. The internet can surely reach a wider audience than that, and some bold attempts at collaboration have indeed been seen on the web. Probably the most successful-albeit the work of years rather than hours-is "Q". an elaborate novel about the Reformation, concocted by a team of four Italian writers calling themselves Luther Blissett. (The real Luther Blissett, incidentally, was a black English footballer who spent an unhappy season in 1983-84 with AC Milan. The talent scouts clearly had not done their homework.)
