There are quite a few pieces looking ahead to 2012 and what books and other literary events we can look forward to.
Among those of possible interest:
- The Guardian looks at '2012's literary highlights' in a fairly extensive look at Literary events in 2012 -- and at least they try to liven things up a bit with some levity: so, for example:
- At his Conversational Reading Scott Esposito looks ahead to Interesting New Books -- 2012 -- still a pretty limited list, but he updates it over the course of the year, so it's worth checking now and again.
- In the Evening Standard David Sexton looks ahead to Literary treats for 2012
- In The Telegraph Melissa Katsoulis looks ahead to The Literary Year 2012.

April 5: Jonathan Cape publishes Irvine Welsh's prequel to Trainspotting and Andrew Motion's sequel to Treasure Island on the same day. Hopes are high of cross-promotion (eg flashmobs of junkie pirates in city squares).- The Millions offers their Most Anticipated: The Great 2012 Book Preview, with 81 titles -- though rather few I'm much anticipating. Among those already under review at the complete review: The Map and the Territory by Michel Houellebecq, The Recognitions by William Gaddis, and Varamo by César Aira.
