Editing New Directions Publishing (section)

==Current projects==

The current focus of New Directions is threefold: discovering and introducing to the US contemporary international writers; publishing new and experimental American poetry and prose; and reissuing New Directions' classic titles in new editions.

Drawing from the tradition of the early anthologies and series, New Directions launched the Pearl series, which presents short works by New Directions writers in slim, minimalist volumes designed by [[Rodrigo Corral]]. Recent additions to the series include ''[[On Booze]]'' by [[F. Scott Fitzgerald]] and ''[[The Leviathan]]'' by [[Joseph Roth]].<sup>[[New Directions Publishing#cite note-6|[6]]]</sup> New Directions also publishes a selection of academic reading guides to accompany a number of their books, including [[Hermann Hesse]]'s [[Siddhartha (novel)|''Siddhartha'']] and ''[[The Night of the Iguana]]'' by Tennessee Williams.<sup>[[New Directions Publishing#cite note-7|[7]]]</sup>

=== Authors ===
