I think I’ll pass on this one.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Simon & Schuster has landed Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s upcoming nonfiction book, My Own Words. The book, which will publish in January, is Ginsburg’s first since becoming a Supreme Court Justice in 1993.
My Own Words will feature a selection of essays and speeches by Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the inner workings of the Supreme Court, being Jewish, opera and the value of looking beyond U.S. shores when interpreting the U.S. Constitution.
Throughout her life, Ginsburg has been — and continues to be — a prolific writer and public speaker. The writings will be selected by her and her authorized biographers: Mary Hartnett, an adjunct professor at Georgetown Law; and Wendy W. Williams, a professor emerita at Georgetown Law.
“Simon & Schuster is proud and thrilled to publish My Own Words by Justice Ginsburg in anticipation of her authorized biography,” Mayhew said. “Justice Ginsburg is one of the most important and articulate legal thinkers and interpreters in the country. She is also a witty and engaged writer and speaker, and I am personally delighted to have another opera lover onboard.”
