Publishing This Week

Publishing This Week View as Webpage Hello, This week we've found 14 new books for your attention including the rather charming Mr Katō Plays Family by Japanese-Austrian author Milena Michiko Flašar. Mr Katō is a recently retired cumudgeon and so there are inevitable comparisons to A Man Called Ove, but Flašar's dreamlike writing style is quite different to Fredrik Backman's; author Elizabeth Berg describes it as "utterly original, beguiling, and truthful in the deepest sense of the word." As always, I've included brief details on 10 titles below, and you'll find more information and on all 14, including early reviews, in our New This Week section (under the "New" tab in our main menu). The "New" section is also home to our Publishing by Month lists, where you can look forward to see what's publishing soon and back to previous months; debuts are indicated by a yellow highlight.
