Strap In for a Time-Traveling Read: Michael J. Fox's "Future Boy" Memoirs
Fresh Autobiographies set for Autumn release - Fall publication of personal accounts and reflections
Set your clocks, because we're heading back to the future with a book! Michael J. Fox, aged 63, is gearing up to release a new memoir titled "Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum" to celebrate the 40th anniversary of "Back to the Future".
The book, co-written with Nelle Fortenberry, will be like a DeLorean time machine for Fox, as he takes you on a wild ride through 1985, a year that saw him juggling his iconic television role in "Family Ties" during the day and shooting the legendary "Back to the Future" at night.
"This book has become my time machine," Fox tells American mag "People". He describes the chaos of playing double duty, a feat unheard of in Hollywood. "The only reason for time is that not everything happens at once," he chuckles, alluding to Einstein's theory of relativity. "I wonder if even Albert could make sense of my life in the first months of 1985 when time was crazy and swept me along. How was it? In one word: busy."
"Future Boy" promises to delve into big questions: "Who am I? I think I've figured it out." The book will also feature new interviews with cast members from both projects to tell an untold piece of entertainment history.
"This book has become my time machine, but unlike the DeLorean, there's plenty of room for everyone who wants to join the ride," Fox entices us.
This isn't Fox's first literary venture. Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991, he has also authored the memoirs "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future", "Always Looking Up, Lucky Man", and "No Time Like the Future". In his latest book, Fox reflects on the big screen and life after his Parkinson's diagnosis, spinning tales of his career and personal growth that are as captivating as his on-screen performances.
