Publishers Weekly reports that Democratic Delaware senator Joe Biden has inked a deal with Random House to publish his memoir. Biden has already announced that he is a candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Steven Zeitchik writes:
While his book is expected to touch on terrorism and security issues, it's been described as much more of a memoir, going back to his Delaware childhood and taking readers through his more than thirty years as a senator (a period that included a 1988 presidential run). One insider praised Biden for his authorial talent, calling him "a very thoughtful writer." No word on a ghostwriter. Random did not have a comment by press time.
It's starting to sound like there might be even more people running for the Democratic presidential nomination than there was in 2004 -- and heaven only knows how many Republicans will run. It's going to be a long primary season.
