Publishers' Lunch emails about books that publishers have just bought the right to publish. This means that the books now have a publisher...but it's gonna be awhile--up to 18 months--before these books hit the bookshelves. So consider this an advance notice of what's coming.
PaperbackDennis Cooper's THE SLUTS, an explicit, comic novel about a gay male hustler and his clients's obsessions with him, to Don Weise at Carroll & Graf, by Ira Silverberg at Donadio & Olson (NA).don.weise@avalonpub.com (This should be one hilarious novel!)
History/Politics/Current AffairsLAT White House reporters Tom Hamburger and Peter Wallsten's ONE-PARTY COUNTRY: The Republican Plan for Dominance in the 21st Century, an account of the plan that could "do as much to redraw the fault lines of American democracy as the emancipation of slaves, the voting rights laws, and the New Deal," to Eric Nelson at Wiley, in a very nice deal, by Sandra Dijkstra of the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency (US). (Sandy Dijkstra lives in Del Mar and is a very good and very picky literary agent. So, the question is, how much damage to the nation's democracy do you want these guys to have the ability to inflict? Damned well better learn what they're trying to pull off so you'll know it when you see it.)
Narrative: Sergeant Frank Antenori, US Army (Ret.) and Hans Halberstadt's ROUGNECK NINE ONE: An A-Team at War, a war tale of bravery and survival and a look inside an A-Team (12 man special forces unit) as it recruits, organizes, trains for combat and, in this case, fights a pitched battle against a tremendous opposing force in Iraq, to Marc Resnick at St. Martin's, in a good deal, by Scott Miller at Trident Media Group (NA).smiller@tridentmediagroup.commarc.resnick@stmartins.com
The special forces that compose an A-Team, in case you didn't know, are Green Berets. Good not to fool with these guys!
Wrap...
