Tom and I were on fire during this week’s podcast, talking about the PEN World Voices Festival and some interesting questions we were asked in an interview for the Picador Book Room Tumblr. While talking about PEN WV, what is learned about a location from reading a book set there, what’s lost and/or gained in translation, we (meaning mostly me) tear into a number of things.
Eric Erlandson, the guitarist who founded Hole with Courtney Love and helped create hit albums like “Pretty on the Inside” and “Live Through This,” will publish a book of his reflections on rock ‘n’ roll, drug abuse and the loss of Cobain called “Letters to Kurt.”
HarperCollins has bought world rights to a memoir by Hole frontwoman and actress Courtney Love.
William Morrow deputy publisher Lynn Grady bought the rights from David Vigliano. Carole Tonkinson, Harper Non-Fiction publisher Carole Tonkinson will publish the as-yet-untitled memoir in the UK and Commonwealth. A release date has yet to be confirmed.
