AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours ago| Publishing Row: Kerala CM VD Satheesan hits out at Penguin Random House India over the Sonia Gandhi memoir “Belonging,” arguing “truth cannot be edited away” and accusing “institutional cowardice” and intimidation. Publisher Clarifications: Penguin says it is not the India publisher and denies dropping the book over editorial demands, while Congress figures like Sachin Pilot question whether pressure was involved. Literary Gossip & Fiction: Rachel Cusk’s new novel “The Life of M” is being framed as a thinly veiled portrait of Natalie Portman, with the book’s premise leaning on invented projections rather than factual autobiography. Games & Publishing Crossover: Cassette Beasts 2002 is set for March 2027, and “Tempus Vitae” is heading to PS5, Xbox Series X | S, and PC in 2027—both showing how publishing-adjacent media keeps feeding book-like storytelling. Indie Game Launch: “Sniper Dan” arrives Sept 17, 2026, with a publisher push from PQube and a premise built for playful, non-lethal problem-solving. |
