Been wondering where those e-books by Updike, Nabokov, Roth, Ellison, Cheever, Bellow and other major writers were?  Turns out the Wylie Agency, which represents them all, has been holding them tight.  Now, at last, they’re available exclusively on Kindle through Wylie’s Odyssey Editions imprint.  The first batch of releases is 20 titles, all of which cost $9.99.  As with the authors published by Open Road Integrated Media, these major titles are going digital without the help of a traditional publisher.
