The AP reports that George Plimpton is writing a memoir, due out in 2006 by Little, Brown. He’ll have a lot of ground to cover: his attempts at sports, his friendships with literary and political legends, those rumors about the Paris Review being a CIA cover, etc. Well, maybe he won’t cover that last one. Still, should be interesting.
