The Octopus Book That, Remarkably, Won Over More Than a Million Readers

Last year’s surge in demand for Shelby Van Pelt’s novel “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” which features a cranky, mischievous octopus, was unexpected because the book was released months earlier, in the spring of 2022. Even more surprising, sales continued to accelerate after the holidays, into the winter and spring of 2023, and have never died down. “The book with the octopus” was Bookmarks’ top-selling novel of 2023, and requests for it have spiked again this holiday season. To date, the novel has sold 1.4 million copies. This December, sales have outpaced last year’s holiday bump, and the novel recently reappeared on The New York Times hardcover fiction bestseller list.

▶ cranky : 짜증을 내는
▶ died down : 차츰 잦아들다[약해지다/희미해지다]
▶ outpaced : 앞지르다, 앞서다
