Doug Brinkley’s Snake River Canyon Detour

Remember how Douglas Brinkley was sued by Penguin Group last month over the $200,000 advance for a Jack Kerouac biography he was supposed to deliver back in 2001 and didn’t, even after two extensions that gave him until the summer of 2006? At the time, he told the NY Sun he was still working on the book for HarperCollins and “expects to be finished in two years.” He’s either making really good progress on that book, or has a great working relationship with his editor, because according to Michael Cader‘s deal index, he’s just sold Harper on Evel Knievel: Daredevil in Winter. No pub date mentioned in the announcement, but you can assume they’ll put it on a crash schedule.
