Random House of Canada executive publisher Louise Dennys has acquired Canadian English-language rights to the 12th novel by Salman Rushdie, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights, which “blends history, mythology, and a timeless love story to bring alive a world – our world – that has been plunged into an age of unreason.” The title is slated for simultaneous international English-language publication in Sept. and will appear under the Knopf imprint.

The deal was arranged by Andrew Wylie at the Wylie Agency.
