A long-awaited book about Philip Roth that was pulled last month amid allegations of sexual assault and harassment against biographer Blake Bailey has a new publisher. Skyhorse Publishing told The Associated Press on Monday that it will have Philip Roth: The Biography available in paperback June 15, and hopes to have the e-book and audio editions ready by Wednesday. Norton initially paused the book's printing and promotion, then withdrew it altogether, along with a Bailey memoir released in 2014, The Splendid Things We Planned. Then-U.S. President Barack Obama presents the National Humanities Medal to Philip Roth during a ceremony at the White House in Washington, D.C., March 2, 2011. On Monday, a Simon & Schuster spokesman declined comment on the Roth biography.
