The Art of Fielding, Chad Harbach, (Little, Brown, 9/7), a debut that is currently enjoying major media attention (the October issue of Vanity Fair features a long article about its publishing) appears on two new fall previews — the L.A. Times  and People‘s. Absent from both lists, are two other major debuts with strong media attention, The Night Circus and The Language of Flowers.

In nonfiction, Joan Didion’s Blue Nights, (Knopf, 11/1) appears on both. Didion, who already chronicled her husband’s death in The Year of Magical Thinking, suffered the death of her daughter soon after. People says it is a “searing memoir” of that period in her life.
