Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Alfred A. Knopf has decided to delay publication of a new book co-written by Jim Carrey. The book, Memoirs and Misinformation, co-written with Dana Vachon, was originally set to be published on May 5.
The book's tentative publication date is now Oct. 6. In Memoirs and Misinformation, Carrey presents a semi-autobiographical novel described as "a deconstruction of persona." Throughout the book, Carrey and Vachon narrate a story about about acting, Hollywood, agents, celebrity, privilege, friendship, romance, addiction to relevance, fear of personal erasure and "a cataclysmic ending of the world — apocalypses within and without." All book tour events have been postponed until further notice.
