Currently I have mine mixed in around the genres in my book room, which would incidentally give you a fit if you saw my filing system:-) Nicola has said for many years that Persephone would be an episode in publishing with a beginning and an end and I too had heard that she would stop. I'm in London for the Persephone Lecture this week to be given by David Kynaston and I'm staying with Nicola for a couple of days, I'll ask:-) <br />Have you read Beth Gutcheon's Still Missing? I think it's brilliant and I'm also very thrilled with the Irene Nemirovsky short stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-40353616621410139102010-11-18T13:19:25.307+11:002010-11-18T13:19:25.307+11:00Hmmm, hopefully she'll change her mind.

I think it was around the time of the 10th anniversary last year. Nicola said that she had always seen Persephone as a finite thing & she thought about stopping at 100 or 120 books. Of course, I hope she doesn't as long as she can still find books she wants to reprint - even if it does upset my bookshelf arrangement! There are still more Whipples to reprint so I do hope she continues those. Greenbanks is coming out next year.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-35991396652683890532010-11-16T14:25:25.949+11:002010-11-16T14:25:25.949+11:00Persephones STOPPING AT 100?
