April Tidings
April is usually not this happening, with publishers waking up after their annual stocktaking, one eye already on their travel plans for the London book fair. But next month, Random House alone has two of its biggest releases ever, starting with Jhumpa Lahiri’s Unaccustomed Earth, followed by Salman Rushdie’s The Enchantress of Florence, of which we’ve already had a teaser in the form of Akbar’s Jodhaa. Not to be left behind, HarperCollins is releasing its most expensive acquisition of the year, Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger.
