Thirteen Moons

We don’t usually go to Entertainment Weekly for literary news, but maybe we should. That magazine has just reported on an “exclusive” look at the new Random House catalog, which contains information on and a release date for Thirteen Moons, the long-awaited second novel from Cold Mountain author Charles Frazier. Thirteen Moons is due to appear in bookstores on October 3, 2006. Of course we couldn’t help but notice that October 3 is the birthdate of western North Carolina’s second-most-popular author, Thomas Wolfe.
