Euna Lee Gets Book Deal

In a statement on Thursday, Broadway Books said that Ms. Lee’s memoir, called “The World Is Bigger Now: A Memoir of Faith, Family and Freedom,” would detail “her 140 days of imprisonment, her ongoing interrogation and her efforts to protect her sources and the subjects of her reporting,” as well as the importance of her religious faith during this time. A publication date has not been announced. Ms. Ling is presently pitching her own book with her sister, the journalist Lisa Ling. [N.Y. Times]

Interesting that they’re pursuing their deals separately.

Like I said, I wonder if it’s because Lee needs the money?

While we’re sort of on the subject, what’s your take on kushibo’s recent criticism of Lisa Ling here?

Why is it interesting?

It’s only interesting to me in that it revealed the money-grubbing opportunism of the Ling sisters. Really, what does Lisa Ling bring to the table that compels Laura to ditch her co-prisoner and write a book?

Frankly, I think Laura Ling may have miscalculated by allowing Euna Lee to be shoved aside, for now Euna Lee has opportunity and motive to reveal whose stupogance was the greatest among Euna Lee, Laura Ling, and Mitch Koss. I’m guessing it was not Euna Lee.

Come to think of it, depending on the content, I think I could get behind a Euna Lee book. So I renew my request: Euna Lee, call me; I would seriously love to help you with your book.
