The Guardian reports he has sold the publishing rights to his memoir to Canongate in Britain and Knopf in the U.S.
News of the memoirs leaked via a tweet from Spanish publisher Random House Mondadori. Canongate and Knopf are both part of the Random House stable. The publishing houses neither confirmed nor denied the report.
