Philip Roth's biography finds a new publisher

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, MAY 19 - The new, controversial biography of Philip Roth is no longer homeless: three weeks after WW Norton's announcement to stop publishing and distributing it, the book has found a new publisher. Norton had downloaded the biography after several women came out accusing the author, Blake Bailey, of sexual harassment and rape. The biography has now been purchased by Skyhorse Publishing, the same independent publishing house that published Woody Allen's memoir "About Nothing," which was in turn indexed by Hachette, its first publisher. "Philip Roth: The Biography" will be released in 'budget' on June 15 and "as soon as possible", probably this week, e-book and audiobook reversal. "I am proud to publish it",said publishing house president Tony Lyons, according to whom a biography "must be judged by the quality of the writing, the importance of the subject and the value of the back-to-back studies," all standards he believes are found in Bailey's book.
