Stephen King: The Musical, and Other News
By
Sadie Stein
November 21, 2012
On the Shelf
It’s a David and Goliath story, if David were also pretty tall:
the Tolkien Estate is suing Warner Brothers
for a cool eighty million dollars over online slot machines and other digital merch that they claim violates copyright.
In more literary retirement news: Hungarian Nobel laureate
Imre Kertész
is also calling it a day.
Jennifer Egan, Roxana Robinson, Philip Gourevitch, John Burnham Schwartz, Jane Green, Michael Cunningham, Nick Flynn, Mary Morris, and Darin Strauss all have
a mammoth group cameo
in Michael Maren’s forthcoming film,
A Short History of Decay.
Because numerous bookstores are refusing to stock titles from the Amazon imprint, one of its authors claims that his book
The 4-Hour Chef
is “poised to be the most banned book in U.S. history.”
Dubious
.
Presented sans comment: “Elvis Costello and Sheryl Crow will both be singing on the soundtrack of
a ghostly musical
written by Stephen King and John Mellencamp.”
