1st NW Quadrant: The Approval Matrix
From NYT By Dave Itzkoff
Having hacked his way through adversaries playing screen roles like Captain Jack Sparrow and Sweeney Todd, Johnny Depp will now be slicing into manuscripts (ideally with a red pen, and not with a cutlass or a razor blade) as he starts his own literary imprint.
The Harper imprint of HarperCollins Publishers said on Tuesday that it was creating a new list of books, called Infinitum Nihil, that will publish titles reflecting Mr. Depp’s eclectic tastes and interests.
Among the books that have been acquired for Infinitum Nihil, the publisher said, is a new work about Bob Dylan by the historian Douglas Brinkley. Titled “The Unraveled Tales of Bob Dylan,” this book promises to “set the record straight on scores of issues pertaining to the rock-and-roll legend,” according to a statement, and is planned for release in 2015.
Infinitum Nihil will also release “House of Earth,” an unpublished novel by the folk singer Woody Guthrie. Set in the Texas panhandle of the 1930s, this book will include an introductory essay by Mr. Brinkley and Mr. Depp, and is scheduled for release in January.
