Book news

· London's Evening Standard interviews Jonathan Safran Foer, who says that the movie of his best-selling book Everything Is Illuminated, which will star Elijah Wood and is due out next year, is only 25% faithful to the novel. However, he doesn't care, because it will still allow his ageing grandmother to access his work. (Sorry, no link available)
· Random House Australia has withdrawn Forbidden Love (also published as Honor Lost) by Norma Khouri from sale, until serious allegations it was a hoax have been investigated. The book, which was a best-seller around the world last year, is about an honour killing in Jordan.
