Book Notes
Novel of the Great War A Soldier of the Great War, a novel by Mark Helprin, is to be published in May by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich , but already the book has earned more than $1 million. It will be a main selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, it has been sold to publishers in France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands, and last week Avon Books bought the paperback rights in an auction with three other publishers. You normally wouldnt expect that kind of money in this economy, said Cork Smith, the editor in chief of Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. The novel, Mr. Helprins first since Winters Tale in 1983, is the last on his two-book contract with Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. But last year, acting as his own agent, Mr. Helprin signed another contract giving the house world rights to an additional five books: three novels and two collections of stories. The amount of the contract was not disclosed, but Mr. Helprin told Publishers Weekly, I got from H.B.J. an enormous amount of money, but not as enormous an amount as I would have gotten had I waited and jockeyed for each book. But I think its important to know exactly what you want and when to stop. Mr. Helprin, an American citizen who served in the Israeli Army, has also fared well as the author of childrens books. Two years ago, for example, he and Chris Van Allsburg, the illustrator, shared an advance of $801,000 for a retelling of Swan Lake (published by Houghton Mifflin ). And several months ago they signed a two-book, $1.5 million contract with Penguin U.S.A. for two more childrens books. A Soldier of the Great War, set in Italy, is about an old man, one Alessandro Giuliani, who tells the story of his life to a young, illiterate factory worker. Everybody who has read it said it is one of the most remarkable renderings of World War I, said Carol Lazare, the subsidiary rights director, who conducted the auction. Youre right there in the trenches. While corporate Harcourt Brace Jovanovich has been having financial problems, its adult trade book division has repeatedly had success publishing writers like Mr. Helprin, Umberto Eco and Alice Walker, literary authors who also have commercial appeal. A Zen, etc. Successor It has been 16 years since the publication of Robert M. Pirsigs last book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, but now Mr. Pirsig has another book ready for the publishers. The book, entitled Lila, is also a philosophical excursion featuring Phaedrus, a ghost from the narrators past who one night in a bar meets a woman named Lila, who ends up joining him on a sailing voyage. Hes trying to set forth a metaphysics of quality, said Lynn Nesbit, Mr. Pirsigs agent. As to whether the new book is fiction or nonfiction, Ms. Nesbit said, I think he creates his own genre. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, the story of a 17-day motorcycle trip from Minnesota to San Francisco by the narrator and his 11-year-old son, has sold 2 million copies. It is still so popular that William Morrow & Company, its hard-cover publisher, has just published Guidebook to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Ronald L. DiSanto and Thomas J. Steele, a collection of essays and other material related to the book. A Crash Milken Book After the recent sentencing of Michael Milken, the former Drexel Burnham Lambert junk bond king, to 10 years in prison, its not surprising that the fastest-selling business book at the Waldenbooks store near Wall Street is April Fools: An Insiders Account of the Rise and Collapse of Drexel Burnham ( Donald I. Fine.) The author is Dan G. Stone, a vice president and eight-year employee of Drexel Burnham. To get the book out before interest in the subject waned, the publisher ordered a crash production schedule. The contract was signed last March, on the basis of a proposal, and the 85,000-word manuscript was delivered five months later. Last month, less than seven weeks after delivery of the manuscript, the book was on its way to stores. Garcia Lorca Day Federico Garcia Lorca lived at Columbia University for eight months in 1929 and 1930. During his stay, he wrote the poems that make up the collection Poet in New York. The poems, filled with helpless children threatened by violence and with death-haunted images, were not published in their entirety until 1940, four years after Garcia Lorca was shot by Francos soldiers at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. Despite their piecemeal appearance, however, the poems helped to insure Garcia Lorcas reputation as a major poet. His plays, especially Blood Wedding, Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba, all written shortly before his death, have also received critical acclaim. Mayor David Dinkens of New York declared yesterday Federico Garcia Lorca Day, and the next two weeks will see many public events, from symposiums to exhibits of his manuscripts, at Columbia University, Barnard College and New York University. Garcia Lorca remains one of the most frequently translated poets and playwrights in the world; more than two dozen books by and about him are currently in print. Two Hits at Once The Addison-Wesley Publishing Company in Reading, Mass., has had occasional best sellers, but this week, for the first time, it has two books on the New York Times best-seller list at once: Iron John, by Robert Bly, about the passage from boyhood into manhood in various cultures and centuries, No. 12 on the hardcover non-fiction list; and Friday Night Lights, by H. G. Bissinger, about a high school football season in Odessa, Tex., No. 16 on the same list.
