A busy literary week, with the possible/likely announcement of the Nobel Prize on Thursday, as well as the weeklong mega-convention that is the Frankfurt Book Fair.
This usually gets lots of coverage -- see, for example, Publishers Weekly already extensive coverage -- and at least the industry press (and many publisher-twitter-timelines) will no doubt have much to report.
Guest of honour this year is Finland, which is cool (even if their tagline -- 'Finnland. Cool.' -- isn't), and I'm looking forward to the coverage of the Finnish titles and authors; see also their official site (which at this point doesn't quite measure up to the standard of recent years, Iceland's official page of 2011 [archived]).
