Author(s): Rick Rosner and Scott Douglas Jacobsen
Publication (Outlet/Website): Ask A Genius
Publication Date (yyyy/mm/dd): 2024/06/27
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: A question from someone else: When is your book coming out?
Rick Rosner: Yeah, well, I don’t have an autobiography coming out. I semi-abandoned that. It’s still there if somebody wants to pay me to write it. But before that book comes out, I’m writing this other book that’s a more fictionalized version of what it’s like to be competent in the world with a whole different character who’s a lot more fun than I am. So, that book will have to come before any autobiography. Sorry.
Jacobsen: How far did you get into that first book, and what were some things that stood out section-wise?
Rosner: I probably had it half to two-thirds written. You can read a big chunk of it on my Twitter page. You can read — I don’t know — at least 10–12,000 words of it because I put it up as a lengthy Twitter thread. You can find it as my pinned tweet. It’s hundreds and hundreds of tweets strung together, giving you a sense of what the book would have been like. So, A, that book’s not coming out on any schedule, but B, you can read 10% of it right now — the end.
