LOS ANGELES: Filmmaker Woody Allen's memoir "Apropos of Nothing" will finally be releasing on April this year. Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group, will bring out the memoir on April 7, the company said in a statement to Variety.
"The book is a comprehensive account of his life, both personal and professional, and describes his work in films, theatre, television, nightclubs, and print," the publishing house said.
The book, in which Allen has also written about his relationships with family, friends, and "the loves of his life", will also release in Canada, Italy, France, Germany and Spain, besides the US.
It was reported last year that Allen was pitching his memoir to several publishers but was rebuffed in the wake of the #MeToo movement.

The multi-hyphenate director has become a subject of discussion over the resurfacing of the sexual assault allegations levelled against him by his step-daughter Dylan Farrow which caught steam in the wake of the #MeToo uprising. He has repeatedly denied the accusations.
Incidentally, Hachette's division Little, Brown and Company published "Catch and Kill", by Allen's estranged son Ronan Farrow in 2019. In the book, Farrow wrote about his reporting during the #MeToo movement that led to the downfall of many powerful Hollywood executives.

"Hachette's publishing of Woody Allen's memoir is deeply upsetting to me personally and an utter betrayal of my brother whose brave reporting, capitalised on by Hachette, gave voice to numerous survivors of sexual assault by powerful men.
"For the record, I was never contacted by any fact checkers to verify the information in this 'memoir', demonstrating an egregious abdication of Hachette's most basic responsibility," she said in a statement posted on the micro-blogging site.

In an interview to The New York Times, he had famously said, “Art was, seriously, the only thing I’d ever wanted to own.”

When not wowing his audience with his genius on the bass guitar, the 'Primus' frontman Les Claypool spends time making wines. What began as a simple project for personal use today is a boutique business called Claypool Cellars.
Staying true to his whacky sense of humour, Colonel Claypool names his wines based on his music. Think ‘Purple Pachyderm’ or ‘Pink Platypus’.
