Deadline has posted a few more details on The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves and China Miéville. Ben Greenberg who is VP and Editor in Chief at Random House acquired the North American rights to the book for Del Rey. Greenberg will also be editing the book, which will be released on July 23. Penguin Random House Audio will also release the audio version of the book on July 23.
China Miéville had the following to say about the project:
“Sometimes the greatest games are those you play with other people’s toys. It was an honour, a shock and a delight when Keanu invited me to play. But I could never have predicted how generous he’d be with toys he’s spent so long creating, how glad to experiment together, how open to true collaboration. I hope readers get to experience even a fraction of the pleasure reading The Book of Elsewhere that I experienced in the writing – in the serious business of play.”
The one thing you can say about Keanu, is he recognizes quality when he sees it. When it came time for a publisher, he went with one with a solid track record – enough said.
