A Win for Inde Book Publishers and People Who Like Pretty Books

For anyone who's read Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,* it's no surprise that he has chosen to publish in the future with a publisher that focuses more on "visual writing."

But what might be more surprising is that this big name is heading to an independent publisher -- a victory for great little publishers everywhere. He published both ELAIC and Everything is Illuminated with a Penguin imprint, which will still hold the rights to those two books. But British inde publisher Visual Editions will be producing his next two books - a novel and a collection of short stories - due out June 2010 and 2011, respectively.

*For those of you who haven't, leave early, go to the nearest bookstore, pick it up and read. You won't be able to put it down. I promise.

I didn't like that book. Too close to home. Although Everything is Illuminated was wonderful.
