What’s Hot in the Media 11th May 2009
Three books nabbed top place on the MX Most Mentioned chart this week. Biographer and professor Claire Harman’s Jane’s Fame: How Jane Austen Conquered the World traces Austen’s story from her early years as a writer when she found it difficult to find a publisher, right through to her enormous popularity, her emergence as a classic English author and her influence on modern literature. A S Byatt’s The Children’s Book, explores how the work of children’s book authors impacts the lives of their own children, and American Rust by Philipp Meyer is a ‘heart-wrenching, unputdownable tale of redemption and survival in small-town America’ and has reviewers in raptures
