This Just In ! ! ! ! !

John Grisham's Doubleday publisher Stephen Rubin announced that Grisham's next book will be out in September. While it will be a fiction novel, the New York Times best-selling author is still on hiatus from writing the legal thrillers that made him famous. This fall's outing, Playing for Pizza, will revolve around an American quarterback trying his luck on the Italian gridiron.

Rubin further commented on Grisham's works:

"Who would have thought that the master of the legal thriller would write a novel about cotton farming (A Painted House) or a novel about the excesses of Christmas? (Skipping Christmas) Now, John pulls another rabbit out of his endless supply of hats with Playing for Pizza, a romp about a fish out of water that had me laughing out loud."
