Ένα ενδιαφέρον άρθρο για τις σημαντικότερες κυκλοφορίες που αναμένονται στην αγγλική γλώσσα στους επόμενους μήνες. Ελπίζω να μην είναι και πολύ πλήρες -το μόνο βιβλίο που μου φάνηκε κάπως ενδιαφέρον, είναι αυτό:

In what looks set to be one of spring’s most interesting novels, Gordon Burn is rushing the very recent past into print. From his award-winning debut novel Alma Cogan to his Fred West biography Happy Like Murderers, Burn has long blended fact and fiction, and in Born Yesterday: The News as a Novel (Faber, April) he finds his natural subject: the news as entertainment. Twenty-four-hour rolling news, the blogosphere and digital interactivity feed our culture of speculation and spin. Burn takes a few highly charged weeks in 2007 – the summer of floods, terror attacks, the Blair/Brown changeover and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann – to investigate media manipulation and the boundaries between fact and fiction.
