We may have to wait many more years before Sonia Gandhi pens that book she light-heartedly promised to write some day—on her years with the original Mrs G, including the Emergency and after. But the buzz just now is Bill Clinton's much-awaited multi-million-dollar-advance memoirs, My Life, is expected to hit the stands worldwide, including India, on June 23. Rumour is Clinton is still writing the last two or three chapters, but the marketing strategy is already in place. Rupa, which will distribute the book here, plans to sell My Life at Rs 895 a copy.
With less than three weeks to go for its release, the humour industry in the US is already at work on Clinton's memoirs. Some chapter titles—Kneel to The Chief; I'm Writing This Chapter Naked; I Pray Hillary Doesn't Read Pages 6, 18, 41-49, 76 and Everything Past 200; Protecting the Constitution: How to Get Gravy Stains Out of the Parchment and From Gennifer to Paula to Monica: Why It Pays to Keep Lowering Your Standards.
