Picador Classics 2015 announced

A new paperback Picador Classic list will be launched in 2015, featuring original introductions by a range of authors and public figures.

Picador's original list of eight paperbacks, published in 1972, 'set the tone for Picador: it became a list of books defined by the unique nature of each author's voice' and this new series continues in the same vein, bringing 'neglected classics' back into print and highlighting great voices.  

The 24-strong launch list includes several titles from UA authors:

Essays in Love by Alain de Botton, with an introduction by Sheila Heti

The Debt to Pleasure by John Lanchester, with an introduction by John Banville

Them by Jon Ronson, with an introduction by Russell Brand

Unreliable Memoirs by Clive James, with an introduction by P J O'Rourke

Waterland by Graham Swift, with an introduction by John Burnside
