This just in from the Associated Press:
The author of the Oprah Winfrey-endorsed "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" is writing a prequel.
Author David Wroblewski said today, in a statement issued by publisher Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins: "My fascination with the Sawtelles and the Sawtelle dogs is far from over. This new novel is a chance to look more deeply into their story, and a tremendously exciting project to me."
Wroblewski's debut novel, an updating of "Hamlet" set in rural Wisconsin, was a word-of-mouth hit last summer and became a blockbuster in the fall after Winfrey picked it for her book club. His new work, the second of a planned trilogy, is not yet titled, and no publication date has been set.
