Cover Stories: T S Eliot; Scott Pack
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Faber, the house that T S Eliot built, is at last to honour the man whose most popular poems, the basis for the Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical, Cats, kept them afloat in some lean years. This week it announced the projected publication of a seven-volume edition of The Complete Prose of T S Eliot, which will accompany the collections of letters which his widow, Valerie, is editing. Forty years after the death of the Nobel Prize-winner, most of his prose - over 700 essays and articles - remains unpublished. Ronald Schuchard, who is in charge of the project, will be working with the likes of Christopher Ricks and Frank Kermode to "restore his full voice".
* Scott Pack, the controversial buying manager at Waterstone's, who announced his resignation a few weeks back, is to join web-to-book publisher The Friday Project as commercial director. Pack is apparently a "big fan" of TFP. "They have a great list," he says, but adds, with typical humility, that "it could be better. I can see there is more I can do." By the time he joins in September, TFP aims to have raised £0.5m in a public offering of 20 per cent of its shares.
