New in January: Edmund White, Radclyffe, Tabatha Coffey and Simon Doonan

Author: Edit Team

January 4, 2012

New Year! New Books! This month you can pick up new releases from Edmund White, Radclyffe, Simon Doonan and Nat Burns.

• With Jack Holmes and His Friends (Bloomsbury), famed writer Edmund White releases his first work of  fiction in almost five years. The novel chronicles the turbulent friendship between two men, one gay and one straight, over the course of two decades.

•  In Best Lesbian Romance 2012, writer and editor Radclyffe has collected “over two dozen titillating tales of lesbian couples taking each other to new heights of happily bedded bliss. Imagination and experimentation are the key that unlocks the hearts of these lesbian love stories and every kind of love you CAN imagine are told in stories redolent of romance, risk-taking, and, even gobsmackingly surprising true love.”

• If your New Year’s resolution is to read more books you are in luck. This month there are new releases from fashionista Simon Doonan, novelist Marianne Banks, and graphic artist Paige Braddock.

As always, if we missed an author or book, or if you have a book coming out next month, please email us.
