A novel called Q, written past times iv Italians nether the get upward ‘Luther Blissett’, has been proposed for the Guardian First Book Award 2003. The book’s iv authors -- Roberto Bui, Federico Guglielmi, Luca Di Meo too Giovanni Catabriga -- belong to a grouping of Italian artists too left-wing activists who began using the get upward of Blissett, a one-time Watford FC football player, every bit their multi-use signature. The English linguistic communication version of Q, a good-versus-evil spy thriller laid during the Reformation inwards Italy too Germany, has already sold over 200,000 copies inwards Italy too has been translated into 10 languages, including English.
Luther Blissett developed something of a cult figure inwards Italy next a disastrous flavour at air-conditioning Milan betwixt 1983 too 1984. Said Blissett: "It's something that I've stayed clear of; you've got no command over these kinds of things. People were maxim to me you lot should read it, exactly why? It's got nada straight to create amongst me. Nobody asked my permission to purpose my get upward or anything similar that. But what tin I create nearly it? They larn on amongst it too I give away from a distance". Meanwhile the Italians convey disbanded ‘Luther Blissett’ too reconstituted themselves every bit Wu Ming (the Chinese for “no name”).
would advise Blissett to consider his legal options. Under the Copyright, Designs too Patents Act 1988, s.84, the imitation attribution of authorship is a civil wrong. While no-one has genuinely said the one-time footballer wrote the book, his get upward is too thence odd too distinctive that people seeing it inwards the context of a novel would swiftly assume he wrote it.
