PW reports that the Nobel Prize has already given a lift to Imre Kertesz's American publisher:
- Imre Kertesz, the hungarian novelist who won this year's Nobel Prize for literature, has been a boon for Northwestern University Press, which publishes him in English. Acting press director Donna Shear says the house has published translations of two of the novels in his trilogy, Fateless and Kaddish for a Child Not Born, and hopes to publish the third volume. "We're sold out of both books as of this morning," she said. Northwestern is going back to press for both books
for printings "in the tens of thousands. We've already received guarantees from the chains and wholesalers."
