THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Jessica
Lynch has struck a $1 million
deal for a book that will tell the
story of her capture and rescue in
Iraq. But questions remain over
how much she remembers.
Publisher Alfred A. Knopf
announced
Tuesday that
the former
prisoner of
war who
became a
national hero
will collabo
rate on “1 Am
a Soldier, Too:
The Jessica Lynch Story” with
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer
Rick Bragg.
The book is scheduled to
come out in mid-November,
with a first printing of around
500,000 copies.
Linancial tenns were not dis
closed, but a source close to the
negotiations said Lynch and
Bragg will split a $1 million
LYNCH
advance, with any royalties going
to Lynch. The source spoke on
condition of anonymity.
“Many folks have written,
expressing their support for me
and for the thousands of other
soldiers who serve their country,”
Lynch said in a statement issued
by Knopf.
“I feel I owe them all this
story, which will be about more
than a girl going off to war and
fighting alongside her fellow sol
diers. It will be a story about
growing up in America.”
Bragg has been granted exclu
sive access to Lynch and her fam
ily. Knopf spokesman Paul
Bogaards said any authorized
film adaptation would likely have
to be based on the book.
“I feel a kinship with Jessica
and her family, and am thrilled at
the prospect of bringing this story
to the wider world,” Bragg said in
the statement.
It is unclear how much Lynch
will be able to tell Bragg. Doctors
at Walter Reed Army Medical
Center in Washington have said it
is unlikely Lynch will remember
the events of her capture. Knopf
spokesman Paul Bogaards, who
visited with Lynch last week, said
the state of her memory is
“excellent,” but declined to say
what he and Lynch discussed.
Bragg also declined comment.
Lynch’s grandmother,
Wyonema Lynch, who lives
across the street, said she looks
forward to reading the book. “We
don’t talk about what happened
to her over there,” Mrs. Lynch
said. “When she wants to tell me,
she will.”
Nothing has been set for a tel
evision interview. Networks con
sider it likely that TV appear
ances will be timed to the book’s
publication in November —
which also happens to be a televi
sion ratings “sweeps” month.
ABC’s Diane Sawyer and
NBC’s Katie Couric are believed
to be the most aggressive suitors
for a Lynch interview. CBS News
has also tried for an interview, but
was embarrassed when it was
revealed in June that the Viacom-
owned network had hinted at
publishing and MTV deals.
Lynch, 20, received a medical
discharge last week.
