A host of new names figure in Library of America’s slate of releases for summer and fall of 2016. The first entries in multi-volume editions of Ursula K. Le Guin, Albert Murray, and John O’Hara join a definitive two-volume set of Loren Eiseley’s essays, while a deluxe hardcover special publication collects David Foster Wallace’s famous tennis essays.
Elmore Leonard returns to the series with the third and final volume of his crime novels. Meanwhile, new facets of Jack Kerouac emerge in an anthology devoted to rare and unpublished pieces alongside newly translated work originally written in French, the language he learned from his Québécois immigrant parents. Three boxed sets collect Willa Cather’s complete fiction, Kurt Vonnegut’s complete novels, and Reporting World War II in a special 75th anniversary edition. (The Eiseley volumes will also be available as a boxed set.) Finally, a paperback reissue restores The Age of Movies: Selected Writings of Pauline Kael (currently available only as an eBook) to print.
