Philipp Meyer

Ernest Hemingway's collected works will be made available in e-book for the first time in a global project by Simon & Schuster.
 
Twenty-eight titles will feature in The Hemingway Collection, to be published in digital in the UK on 22nd May in a "fresh and modern" style. Designer Tom Poland was commissioned to create "bold, clean, bright images" that "stand apart from the classic designs previously seen on bookshelves and illuminate screens with the same vigour as Hemingway's work."
 

Donna Tartt has won the Pulitzer award for fiction for her third novel The Goldfinch, which judges described as a book which "stimulates the mind and touches the heart".

Relating the life of a 13-year-old boy who survives an accident that kills his mother, The Goldfinch was chosen as the winner of America's most prestigious literary award ahead of Philipp Meyer's The Son, and Bob Shacochis's The Woman Who Lost Her Soul. It is, said judges Art Winslow, Ron Charles and Sabina Murray, "a beautifully written coming-of-age novel with exquisitely drawn characters".
