Fourth Estate buys two from Cohen

14.10.08

Fourth Estate has bought world rights to two new books by Nick Cohen, the journalist and author of Pretty Straight Guys and What's Left?.

Editor Robin Harvie signed the deal with Natasha Fairweather at A P Watt. The first book, Waiting for the Etonians: Reports from the Sickbed of Liberal England, will be published in February 2009. It will be a collection of Cohen's writing which Harvie said will "cover Labour's love affair with the right over the last 10 years". The second book, provisionally titled Traitors, will look at the state of Britain at the end of the first decade of a new century. A release date has yet to be confirmed.
