Dutton picks up Eminem in US

Dutton Books, an imprint of the Penguin Group, will publish Eminem's memoir The Way I Am in the autumn. The news follows last week's announcement by Orion that it had secured rights for the UK edition of the book.

An Eminem spokesperson said the memoir was "still in the process of being written and edited". The book was described as an intimate look inside the life of Eminem, who has sold tens of millions of records since he made his provocative debut in 1999.

According to Orion's statement made last week, the UK edition is to be published on 16th October.

Eminem has published one other book, Angry Blonde. The 2002 work detailed his lyrics.
