Joan Rivers Biography Set For 2016 Release
Joan Rivers’ story isn’t finished being told. A biography of the legendary comedian’s life is due out in bookstores in 2016.
“Joan Rivers: A Life” is being written by Vanity Fair and New York Times writer Leslie Bennetts. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the book is being described as “the definitive book about Rivers’s tumultuous, victorious, tragic, glamorous, and fascinating life”.
The author talked about the challenge of covering Joan’s amazing and very complex life, she said – “Joan Rivers’ life story was, in every way, a remarkably dramatic roller-coaster ride characterized by triumphant highs and devastating lows, one that is both wildly entertaining and deeply moving. But Rivers’ career was also enormously significant in American cultural history, breaking down barriers for women in television and comedy and continually redefining the acceptable boundaries of truth-telling for women in public life. It’s hard to imagine a more compelling subject for a book — or one that would be more fun.”
After Joan Rivers’ death her latest book, “Diary of a Mad Diva” saw sales increase 70,750 percent on Amazon.
“Joan Rivers: A Life” will be released in 2016 from Little, Brown and Company publishers.
