Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]Grove Atlantic VP & editorial director Elisabeth Schmitz offered three distinctive titles including Leif Enger's Virgil Wander . [...]Dan Zitt, VP, content production, Penguin Random House Audio/Books on Tape, announced the latest from Janet Evanovich and Lee Child, while sharing the ins and outs of casting mystery audio. Moderated by LJ senior editor Liz French, "Top Historical Fiction" opened with Ramin Ganeshram discussing The General's Cook (Arcade: Little, Brown, Nov.), a novel about George Washington's enslaved chef Hercules, which she'd been working on when she was approached to write the children's picture book A Birthday Cake for George Washington , which was pulled by Scholastic Press in response to criticisms of its overly positive illustrations of slavery. Moderated by Katy Glenn Bass, director of free expression policy and research for PEN America, the panel included former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson, author and activist DeRay Mckesson, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas.
