Next Monday marks the start of a big surge in book publication. It happens every year about this time, books dropping like autumn leaves. So gather your nuts together, friends, it’s time to go book shopping.
Monday, Sept. 12:
First out is Monday’s release of Talking Back…To Presidents, Dictators, and Assorted Scoundrels by Andrea Mitchell, published by Viking. Mitchell (the wife of Fed chairman Alan Greenspan) is a 30-year reporter for NBC on politics and related topics. “…a frank and revealing book by a respected journalist whose career spans three decades.” —Vanessa Bush, American Library Association.
The Diviners, by Rick Moody, also comes out from Little, Brown on Monday. (Despite the offer from Amazon to ship it immediately, the book isn’t available until the 12th.) “In a dizzying, exhilarating comic narrative, Moody follows the doings of Move On Productions and their feverish attempts to launch the miniseries The Diviners, a multigenerational saga about dowsing. Moody introduces, with great affection, a large cast of characters, all of whom are players, whether high or low, in the entertainment industry.” —Joanne Wilkinson, American Library Association.
