En publiant la liste des 100 classiques des 25 dernières années, le très lu magazine américain Entertainment Weekly vient de poser une pierre importante de la bibliophlie post-moderne nord-américaine. D'autant que la liste prète peu à discussion, les critiques portent surtout sur la place attribuée aux nouveaux classiques.
Pour les bibliophiles américains désireux d'investir, le début de la traque à l'édition originale des titres sacralisés dans cette liste a sonné. Et quand on sait qu'un exemplaire de l'édition originale du Emma de Jane Austen vient d'être vendu aux enchères à Londres pour 180.000 £ (environ 226.800 euros), la bataille à l'investissement promet d'être rude.
