The onset of cold and snow here in New York have driven all us Penguins out into the streets, where even now editors and online producers are frolicking and sliding around on the ice. It's near impossible to round up any cohesive group so as to interview them, so we're going to have to wait for the initial joy to abate and for everybody to troop back inside. That should be around February, when we plan to launch a second Imprint Focus Feature on Riverhead, an Imprint that regularly churns out such best sellers as Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Thanks for visiting our blog, have a wonderful holiday, and come back next year to see what else is in the works here at the Penguin Group (USA)!
