Le nouveau roman de Suzanne Collins figure parmi les livres les plus attendus de 2024. En moins d\u2019une semaine, Lever de soleil sur la moisson est devenu num\u00e9ro 1 sur Amazon. La premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition est tir\u00e9e \u00e0 1,5 million d\u2019exemplaires.

Cela n\u2019a rien de surprenant : la saga Hunger Games s\u2019est vendue \u00e0 plus de 100 millions d\u2019exemplaires dans le monde. Collins est une star mondiale. Ses livres sont traduits, adapt\u00e9s, \u00e9tudi\u00e9s. Surtout, ils rapportent. Beaucoup.

En 2022, les revenus de Suzanne Collins \u00e9taient estim\u00e9s \u00e0 20 millions de dollars, ce qui la pla\u00e7ait dans le top 10 mondial des auteurs les plus r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s.

Mais, que nous dit ce chiffre, sauf le fait que certaines autrices savent parfaitement naviguer dans un syst\u00e8me domin\u00e9 par les grands groupes d\u2019\u00e9ditions, les studios de cin\u00e9ma et les g\u00e9ants du commerce en ligne ?

Peut-\u00eatre ceci : le succ\u00e8s spectaculaire de quelques \u00e9crivains masque une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique bien plus dure pour la majorit\u00e9 des auteurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les \u00e9crivains fran\u00e7ais ne vivent pas de leurs livres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Selon une \u00e9tude men\u00e9e par la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Gens de Lettres (SGDL), plus de 80 % des \u00e9crivain\u00b7es professionnel\u00b7les en France gagnent moins que le SMIC gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 leur activit\u00e9 litt\u00e9raire. Le revenu m\u00e9dian annuel issu du droit d\u2019auteur est inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 5 000 \u20ac.

Le Centre national du livre (CNL) confirme ces chiffres : la plupart des auteurs ont besoin d\u2019une autre source de revenu (enseignement, journalisme, r\u00e9sidence ou activit\u00e9 artistique compl\u00e9mentaire) pour vivre d\u00e9cemment.

De plus, la pr\u00e9carit\u00e9 s\u2019accentue : le nombre d\u2019auteurs touchant des revenus r\u00e9guliers baisse et les revenus issus de la cha\u00eene du livre (droits papier, poches, cessions de droits, adaptations) se concentrent sur une minorit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pourquoi en parler maintenant ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parce que le cas Collins illustre le paradoxe du syst\u00e8me : plus les quelques stars du march\u00e9 gagnent, plus le reste de la profession semble invisible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u2019est aussi une question politique : faut-il d\u00e9fendre un mod\u00e8le culturel dans lequel seuls les plus visibles sont r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s dignement ? Que deviennent les r\u00e9cits plus exigeants, les formes moins commerciales, les premiers romans brillants, mais fragiles ?

On entend souvent dire que \u00ab la litt\u00e9rature trouve toujours son chemin \u00bb. Mais, ce chemin devient de plus en plus \u00e9troit et seuls certains y sont invit\u00e9s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 suivre ou \u00e0 ne pas suivre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cela ne signifie pas qu\u2019il faille boycotter les grandes sagas ou les auteurs populaires. La plupart du temps, leur talent est r\u00e9el, leur travail, colossal, et leur succ\u00e8s, m\u00e9rit\u00e9.

Toutefois, peut-\u00eatre faut-il regarder les chiffres autrement. Pas seulement comme des records, mais comme des signaux \u00e0 d\u00e9crypter. Interroger ce qu\u2019ils disent du pr\u00e9sent et du futur de la litt\u00e9rature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
