Woody Allen's memoir 'Apropos of Nothing' will be published by arcadepub after HachetteUS dropped it last month due to overwhelming backlash.
It appears that Woody Allen’s memoir has a permanent home now, even after his previous publisher Hachette dropped it over outstanding backlash. The 400-page memoir,Allen’s memoir comes at a time when most people’s attention is affixed on the global coronavirus pandemic, so the 84-year-old filmmaker will likely not engage in interviews or promotional appearances. There has also been no word on what the financial aspect of Allen’s book deal looks like.
While it’s undeniably questionable to give Allen a platform, the memoir includes his stance on his relationship with Mia Farrow, her daughter Soon-Yi Previn , and Dylan Farrow’s accusations that Allen molested her as a child. “I can’t deny that it plays into my poetic fantasies to be an artist whose work isn’t seen in his own country and is forced, because of injustice, to have his public abroad,” Allen writes. “Henry Miller comes to mind. D.H. Lawrence. James Joyce. I see myself standing amongst them defiantly.”
