limited Book Promotion and Distribution
Actress Bárbara Rey has voiced her frustration over the lack of promotion and distribution of her memoir,I,Barbara.She stated that the book “should have been promoted a little more” and believes “there must have been some little thing there” hindering its visibility, as reported by Just the Right Time. Rey further noted that she was ”improperly banned for the protection of other venues” and that there has been no media coverage or book signing opportunities.
Rey highlighted the disparity in treatment compared to other authors. “People who have published books like Rappel or Lomana…have been at the book fair, with all due respect, and I have not been. Not at the book fair, not signing books anywhere,” she said. Her observations suggest a potential inequity in promotional opportunities.
The actress also described a personal search for her book in various locations. “This year I have traveled a lot and I was curious to look in all the stations and airports, in the shopping centers, in the bookstores, in La Casa del Libro and such, and my book was nowhere to be found,” Rey revealed, indicating a significant lack of distribution.
Timing and Current Relevance
Rey believes the bookS release timing was unfavorable and that its impact would be greater now. “If the book came out now it would be different,” she stated. She suggests that recent events have illuminated the character and behavior of individuals discussed in her memoir, particularly those she describes as believing themselves to be “superior beings.” This implies the current climate would provide a more receptive audience for her account.
