This much is clear: Palin, whose wardrobe got her in trouble during the presidential campaign, has apparently sparked others to ride her memoir's coattails, whether to assault, defend or just giggle.
That doesn't even include the picture book Terminatrix: The Sarah Palin Chronicles – which superimposes her head on paintings and famous photos - and a boomlet of self-published books, including one that weirdly takes Henrik Ibsen's play Hedda Gabler and merely substitutes Gabler for Palin and George Tesman for Todd Palin. John McCain and Palin were easily beaten by Democrats Barack Obama and Joseph Biden, Palin emerged a favorite among conservatives, an object of tabloid gossip and - as the only candidate in the race who had never written a memoir - a natural for a publishing deal.Sarah Palin may fashion herself as a go-it-alone maverick, but her book is producing a crowd.īy the time the former Alaska governor's memoir - Going Rogue: An American Life – officially hits book stores on Tuesday - there'll be a legion of titles waiting to cash in, from unauthorised biographies to critical essays to a tongue-in-cheek colouring book. Palin declined to name any specific misunderstandings and avoided detailed comments about her family, her political aspirations or about the divide in the Republican Party between moderates and conservatives, a divide her vice presidential run helped widen.Ī long time comingA Palin book has been rumored virtually from the time the election ended. "In fairness to my family, this is going to be a good opportunity for them, too, because there have been so many misperceptions out there about who we are and what we believe in, and I'm excited to get to put my journalism degree to work and tell my story as it relates to my family," said Palin, 45, who in 1987 graduated from the University of Idaho with a degree in journalism. (She and the baby's father, Levi Johnston, have since ended their relationship.) Palin's memoir, currently untitled, will cover her personal and political life, from her childhood in Alaska and last year's campaign to her political beliefs and her family life, including the pregnancy of her teenage daughter, Bristol Palin, who gave birth in December to a baby boy, Tripp.
