Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney/Wild Flag/Portlandia/other good things fame will be releasing a memoir through Riverhead Books, a division of the Penguin publishing group. I will read that book. As of now, the book does not have a title or release date attached to it, so basically the entirety of information regarding this book is that it will exist, Riverhead is putting it out, and I will read it. If anybody at Riverhead needs a good quote for this book’s press sheet, you can quote that part about me reading it. I’ll even do the heavy-lifting for you. “I will read that book” — Eric Nagurney.
In other news in the general orbit of Carrie Brownstein books, she and Portlandia co-star Fred Armisen will release a parody travel book based on the very program they star in. It’s called A Guide for Visitors and it is coming out on November 20. I will probably also read that, too. By the way, Brownstein was just on WTF, Marc Maron’s excellent interview podcast. Listen to that, because it’s almost-certainly great.
