Ted pens a memoir
No wonder Ted Kennedy wouldn’t share his stories for the Globe’s biography, “Last Lion.” His editor, Jonathan Karp of Hachette Book Group USA, said Wednesday the senator’s own memoir will come out this fall, according to the Associated Press. Karp made the announcement during the annual meeting of the Association of American Publishers. “True Compass” will be listed in the publisher’s fall catalog, Hachette spokesman Cary Goldstein told the AP. He declined to say whether the 77-year-old Kennedy has completed the book, which he’s worked on while fighting brain cancer.
We predict it will be juicy. Don’t disappoint us, Teddy.
