Tina Brown Postpones Her Book on the Clintons

By Tanzina Vega - New York Times, November 15, 2010

It doesn’t look like Tina Brown will have time to finish a long-scheduled book on the Clintons anytime soon.

“The Clinton Chronicles,” which was scheduled for publication in 2010, was expected to be a book about the lives of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their rise to power. The book was first announced in January 2008 — back when Mrs. Clinton appeared to be a likely candidate for the Democratic nomination.

“Tina has postponed the book indefinitely,” Andrew Kirk, a spokesman for Ms. Brown, said in an e-mail. “The recent merger of Newsweek with The Daily Beast has made it unrealistic at this time.”

Ms. Brown, the founder and editor in chief of The Daily Beast Web site, will also be editor in chief of Newsweek after the two entities joined forces last week.

Alison Rich, a spokeswoman for Doubleday, said the book is still under contract but there is no scheduled publication date.

And the New York Observer take on the news.
