Lit up

Literary leftovers:

• The NYT on new, "more exportable" German novels. Also, a former publisher has become an agent.
• Rodney Whitaker, author of many books including those under the pseudonym Trevanian, died. His most famous book was "The Eiger Sanction."
• Galleycat notes the NY transit strike; literary agent Miss Snark stayed home, and I imagine most of the publishing world did too. In any case, I have little expectation of news of my novel, which is making the rounds of publishers, before Epiphany.
