‘As everyone in the literary world knows, Harvill Secker is where many of the most influential and provocative titles live, and Apple and Knife and The Wandering are such books,’ said Brow Books publisher Sam Cooney. ‘We’re in awe of the brilliant things that Sam Cooney and Elizabeth Bryer are doing at Brow Books, and we’re grateful to them and to Kelly for introducing Intan’s extraordinary writing to us and to the English-speaking world.’ ‘ Apple and Knife and The Wandering are fierce and unconventional and we’re thrilled to be publishing them,’ she said. Steel described Paramaditha’s writing as ‘exhilaratingly wild, fun and feminist’. Harvill Secker will publish Apple and Knife in the UK spring of 2019 and The Wandering in 2020. Harvill Secker senior editor Ellie Steel acquired the rights in a deal brokered by Kelly Falconer at Asia Literary Agency. Harvill Secker also acquired UK and Commonwealth rights to a second book by Paramaditha, called The Wandering, which is described as a ‘choose-your-own-adventure-style novel about travelling the world’ that spans ‘New York, Berlin, Jakarta, Lima and beyond’. Books has sold UK and Commonwealth rights to Sydney-based Indonesian author Intan Paramaditha’s short-fiction collection Apple and Knife to Harvill Secker, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK.
