Not all of the spring's books have yet been published, let alone read, and the publishers are already whetting the appetite for the next literary season with their promises for the autumn program.

An American prelude is on the horizon and a Canadian classic that will decorate the Book Fair Guest of Honor on the second attempt.

The promised novels, especially by local women writers, make us curious.

And a hundred and sixty pages boldly and clearly subtitled “poem”.

There is also a boldness from China and the risk of a new translation of a classic on the special day.
