Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay to be re-released in classic Penguin style
Former Winnipeg fantasy novelist Guy Gavriel Kay‘s 1992 title, Tigana, is being re-released in classic Penguin style.
Kay, based in Toronto, is one of 15 writers Penguin Canada is publishing in a new series called Penguin Celebrations. The series boasts modern versions of the traditional Penguin covers from the 1930s and ’40s.
Appealing to nostalgia the books will be published in three colours, orange for fiction, light blue for science and non-fiction and green for mystery and crime.
Other titles in the series include Three Day Road by Ontario’s Joseph Boyden and Lives of Girls and Women by Ontario’s Alice Munro.
Guy Gavriel Kay was born on the 7th November 1954 in Canada. He is still based out of Toronto. At the beginning of his career Gavriel Kay aided Christopher Tolkien (J.R.R. Tolkien’s son) in the editing of Tolkien’s great work, The Silmarillion.
Kay’s fourth novel, Tigana, was nominated for the World Fantasy Award whilst is also won the Canadian Aurora Award. The second book of The Fionavar Tapestry, The Wandering Fire also won this award.
