Another review for Kemal's The Idle Years

We had another review for the this one, this time in the Financial Times, in a more-interesting-than-usual take on the summer reading generic pieces that you get the in the papers round this time of year. Full list is here

Idle Years reviewed in The Times

We have just published Orhan Kemal's The Idle Years . Kemal is one of the greatest artists in Turkey's history and we have been proud to be the first publishers of his work in English. The first of q a few upcoming pieces on Kemal has appeared in The Times in their 'Classics' column. Written by Margaret Reynolds, it conveys the deceptive simplicity of Kemal's style and gives a nice precis of his legendary status. If you would like to know more about Orhan Kemal (and he is well worth discovering), look up the Orhan Kemal Museum in Istanbul

Two Peter Owen titles on Three Percent

We were pleased to see that Three Percent, the US web literary journal, mentioned two of our current titles this month. Apart from some criticism of the titles' US prices, both Monzo's The Enormity of the Tragedy and Druzhnikov's Pushkin's Second Wife and Other Micronovels appear to have been well received.

Coverage in the Standard & The Guardian

The Embassy/Guinness party also drew these two witty asides in the press one from
The Guardian and the other from the
Evening Standard

Irish Embassy Launch Party

We were delighted to be able to have a launch party for Arthur's Round at the Irish Embassy in Grosvenor Place, London. A much more glamorous event than we are used to hosting if the truth be told, with a contingent of fashion correspondents and even models (!) rubbing shoulders with the usual publishing types - Patrick is pictured with his daughter Jasmine and Jade Parfitt. Witty speeches from the Ambassador and Patrick Guinness himself - plus a fair share of the black stuff - rounded off a great evening very nicely...

Coverage Building Up For Arthur's Round

It has been many years in preparation and the biography of Arthur Guinness, Arthur's Round by his direct descendent, Patrick, is certainly making a stir. We had a launch for the Irish publication in Dublin in November (see the author, with his daughter, Jasmine, at the fabulous Guinness Storehouse in the pic above) and today's Irish Independent has a splendid review here. There should be some more coverage coming soon too...
