一開始,會以為這本書是講出版界如何挖掘出天才作家的故事,但看了兩頁後,就發現這個一登場就十分另類的總編─牛河原勘治─其實是個……怎說呢?出書掮客,類詐騙總編輯。

這樣說好了,牛河原工作的出版社真的有在出書,但在這個看書人越來越少,出版業漸漸不景氣的時代,大多數的出版社是出一本書就多少會虧一筆錢,但牛河原的出版社卻是越出書越賺錢,原因就在於寫書的人得自己負擔出書的成本,不是只有印刷的工錢而已,牛河原「招募」作者來「自費出書」,都是心甘情願掏出一大筆錢,好圓一個自己擁有稀世文才美夢的人。

於是有成天翹課窩在家寫小說的大學生;自認是下一個賈伯斯的打工族;老覺得高人一等,無法和週遭其他家長交談的教育媽媽;退休的會社主管;在職的老師…。這些人的共同點就是,很想讓別人─尤其是不認識的人─「看」到自己。好像心中都有股怨氣,只能靠寫作和出書把怨氣發洩出去,才能繼續生活下去。

故事的前半段便是看牛河原如何見招拆招,或用徵文比賽遺珠,或稱作品為曠世奇作,總之先灌迷湯,再依家庭背景訂出「合理」金額,把各路人馬都一網打盡。故事進入尾聲前,競爭對手出現,但這家類似的出版社則是毫無道德的詐騙集團,使得牛河原任職的出版社業績一落千丈,之後的故事就成了絕地大反攻的橋段,並在這場企業戰爭中,更清楚闡述「販賣夢想」等同「盜亦有道」的哲理。

書中一個概念十分有意思──

「對某一類人來說,出書具有一股難以抗拒的魅力,再也沒有比這件事更能滿足自尊心跟優越感,尤其在日本一講到書更有高價值。這個國家光說自己的興趣是看書,就好像很了不起。何況成了出書的作者,更是讓人另眼相待。」(P138)

哇哩!我…我…不會也是這類人吧???大危險哪!
