Fourth Estate has bought a new memoir by The Year of Magical Thinking author Joan Didion, which the publisher described as "both groundbreaking and a culmination of a stunning career".
Editorial director Clare Reihill bought UK and Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, to Blue Nights, from Janklow and Nesbit Associates NY.
Reihill said: "The Year of Magical Thinking made such a deep impression on readers—no-one transforms the specific into the universal better than Joan Didion—and that profound and highly emotional experience of feeling connected to, and changed by, a piece of writing is further intensified in Blue Nights."
The book will be published in autumn next year.
