Editor's Note:
Capita, nella vita di tutti, che qualcosa vada storto, magari proprio quando fortuna e gloria erano appena state assaporate, o sembravano a portata di mano. E, a volte, a determinare la differenza tra successo e fallimento è un capriccio di troppo. Se non avesse disseminato i suoi perfetti manoscritti «shakespeariani» – che i migliori esperti in circolazione prendevano rigorosamente per autentici – di firme frettolose, William Henry Ireland sarebbe passato alla storia come il più grande falsario mai esistito; se non avesse tentato un esperimento inutile, René Blondlot avrebbe scoperto, anziché i fantomatici raggi N (in realtà, un innocuo disturbo della visione periferica), i raggi X, e la sua ragguardevole reputazione sarebbe stata consacrata per sempre; e se si fosse accontentato di essere il paesaggista più ammirato del suo tempo (da Charles Dickens, su tutti gli altri) rinunciando a sfidare Barnum sul suo terreno, John Banvard non sarebbe, oggi, un pittore del tutto dimenticato. A tardivo risarcimento dei loro sogni infranti, i tredici personaggi ritratti in questa galleria di sconfitti hanno avuto la ventura di incontrare un biografo perfetto, Paul Collins – l’unico scrittore contemporaneo capace di trasformare un dagherrotipo svanito, la pubblicità di un rimedio taumaturgico o il brevetto di un’invenzione portentosa, ma assolutamente inutile, in altrettanti microromanzi ilari e sorprendenti.
