Dear Booksellers, Thank you so much for all you do for Penguin Books. I want to take this opportunity to point out just a few of the many titles in our Winter 2013 season that I hope will tempt your customers and get the year off to a very strong start. First, I want to mention an original novel, City of Dark Magic by Magnus Flyte. We’ve decided to publish at the end of November given the enormous amount of enthusiasm in house! Perfect for fans of A Discovery of Witches, this “rom-com” paranormal suspense novel set in Prague is destined to entertain many readers and will be a great holiday gift! Other December titles include Daniel Klein’s Travels with Epicurus, a witty and accessible meditation on old age that will be published in a delightful small hardcover format, and Daniel Ladinsky’s The Purity of Desire: 100 Poems of Rumi, a deluxe trade paperback original—both perfect for gift-giving. January highlights include reprints of Dave Isay’s All There Is: Love Stories from StoryCorps (in time for Valentine’s Day), Cristina Alger’s The Darlings, and Gary Marcus’s Guitar Zero. February brings a second Penguin Original in translation from the New York Times bestseller Ludmilla Petrushevskaya, There Once Lived a Girl Who Seduced Her Sister’s Husband, and He Hanged Himself—a superb anti–Valentine’s Day book!—and the reprint of the hugely successful Bringing Up Bébé by Pamela Druckerman. In March we are excited about two international fiction Originals. Linda Olsson, the author of the bestselling Astrid & Veronika, will publish her third novel, The Memory of Love, and Gerbrand Bakker, winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, will be published by Penguin for the first time with Ten White Geese. Big leads in nonfiction include Elaine Pagels’s bestselling Revelations and Jon Gertner’s The Idea Factory. April will see the publication of Benjamin Lytal’s stunning debut novel, A Map of Tulsa, and in nonfiction, the reprint of Blaine Harden’s extraordinary bestseller about North Korea, Escape from Camp 14. Penguin has always loved mysteries, and I am happy to have new novels from bestselling authors Andrea Camilleri (his fifteenth Inspector Montalbano mystery, The Dance of the Seagull) and Philip Kerr (his eighth Bernie Gunther novel, Prague Fatale). Also on the list are four reprints that are each the first outing in a series: Thomas Caplan’s The Spy Who Jumped Off the Screen, Chris Morgan Jones’s The Silent Oligarch, Keith McCafferty’s The Royal Wulff Murders, and Nicci French’s Blue Monday. I hope you will get a chance to read some of these marvelous books. With all good wishes, Kathryn Court, President and Publisher of Penguin Books 3
Photo: Billy Hughes 4 Travels with Epicurus A Journey to a Greek Island in Search of an Authentic Old Age Daniel Klein Daniel Klein journeys to the Greek island Hydra to discover the secrets of aging happily. Drawing on the lives of his Greek friends, as well as philosophers ranging from Epicurus to Sartre, Klein learns to appreciate old age as a distinct and extraordinarily valuable stage of life. He uncovers simple pleasures that are uniquely available late in life, as well as headier pleasures that only a mature mind can fully appreciate. A travel book, a witty and accessible meditation, and an optimistic guide to living well, Travels with Epicurus is a delightful jaunt to the Aegean and through the terrain of old age led by a droll philosopher. A perfect gift book for the holidays, this little treasure is sure to please longtime fans of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar and garner new ones, young and old. dAniel klein is the coauthor (with Thomas Cathcart) of the international bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar and Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates. The author or coauthor of thirty other books, including The Half-Jewish Book, the Elvis Presley mystery series (Kill Me Tender, Blue Suede Clues), and the award-winning novel The History of Now, Klein holds a degree in philosophy from Harvard University and lives in Western Massachusetts with his wife, Freke Vuijst. Praise for Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar: “ I laughed, I learned, I loved it.” —Roy Blount, Jr. “ An extraordinary read you’ll want to share with as many people as possible. It’s a funny-bone tickler with teeth.” —Orlando Sentinel “A hoot.” —Chicago Sun-Times “ A sprightly crash course in philosophy . . . both enlightening and laugh-out-loud funny.” —Bas Bleu 12-Copy Floor Display with special header ISBN 978-0-14-750821-8 $240.00 ($252.00 CAN) 6-Copy Counter Display with special header ISBN 978-0-14-750822-5 $120.00 ($196.00 CAN) Author Appearances National Radio Telephone Interviews National Publicity Online Publicity National Print Advertising Radio Advertising
