[edit] The Meaning of Night

The fact that this novel will not be published until 2006 September has been removed from the article. Not (yet) notable. Probable vanity article. (Note that the large number of Google hits include a different book called Touba and the Meaning of Night and a painting by Renee Magritte.) -- RHaworth 09:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Article claims that "The book's purchase by London publishers, John Murray, caused a stir in the publishing world for winning the largest ever British auction for a debut novel. The deal was followed closely by industry magazines like The Bookseller." If that's true, the book has already received media attention and set a fairly significant record, which is certainly grounds for notability. It also was mentioned in a New York Times article, although I don't know the context as I don't subscribe to their website. -Elmer Clark 10:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Largest advance for a debut novel according to this - [1]. Also a mention in The Observer as 'exciting British debut'. [2] Catchpole 11:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
