'Dwelling Narrowness' a hit

'蝸居'電視劇促小說熱賣

"Dwelling Narrowness," a novel adapted into a TV series of the same name about people struggling with the rising property prices in a metropolis, becomes a best seller after the TV series became a hit show, Beijing Legal Times reported. Major bookstores in Beijing sold only a few dozen copies per month earlier this year, but November saw the number leap to more than 1500, statistics showed. The book is selling so well that the publisher has printed another 100000 copies in a month.

據《法制晚報》報道，反映房奴生活的電視劇《蝸居》熱播，帶動了同名小說的熱賣。來自京城幾大書店的數據顯示，該書今年前幾個月的月平均銷量不過幾十本，11月間突然增加到1500多本。由于《蝸居》的大熱，小說出版商在近一個月內已經加印10萬冊。
