Random House imprint Harvill Secker will release limited editions of books by J M Coetzee, Haruki Murakami and Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa as part of its centenary celebrations.
The 100th birthday activities will kick off with a day dedicated to international writing at Foyles’ Charing Cross Road branch. Among the authors attending are Manuel Rivas, A S Byatt, Joseph O’Connor and Xiaolu Guo. In April, it will launch a new website (internationalwriting.co.uk) devoted to the discussion and promotion of international literature. During the same month, the imprint will also launch a prize to encourage young translators.
