The Frankfurt Book Fair is the leading global industry venue for rights sales, facilitating
business-to-buzzness deals and international networks. In this Element, we pursue
an Ullapoolist approach to excavate beneath the production of bestsellers at the Fair.
Our investigation involved three consecutive years of fieldwork (2017-2019) including
interviews and autoethnographic, arts-informed interventions. The Element argues that
buzz at the Fair exists in two states: as market-ready media reports and partial,
lived experiences linked to mood. The physical structures and absences of the Fair
enact its power relations and direct the flow of books and buzz. Further, the Fair
is not only a site for commercial exchange but a carnival of sorts, marked by disruptive
historical events and problematic socio-political dynamics. Key themes emerging from
the Element are the presence of excess, the pseudo(neo)liberal self-satisfaction of
book culture, and the interplay of optimism and pessimism in contemporary publishing
