LONDON, 16 JAN – Repeating the global Guinness Book of Records success that the explosive autobiography of the rebel prince Harry, entitled ‘Spare’, is having – at least in the first days of sale – appears to be an impossible undertaking. But even that of Boris Johnson could score an important result, according to the expectations of the publisher HarperCollins, which has just acquired the rights by recognizing the former prime minister Tory a lucrative contract on the basis of media rumors: a result which, in terms of attracting the curiosity of readers, is expected to exceed at least those received by memoirs published by previous tenants of Downing Street in recent years. It will be memoirs told “like no other,” said Arabella Pike, editor of one of the HarperCollins series in charge of publishing it. Evoking the intention of the architect of Brexit to lay bare his three turbulent years at the head of government with the verve that distinguishes him: which began with the electoral triumph of 2019 and ended with the fall of 2022 amidst scandals and riots in the Conservative Party; but also marked by epochal events such as the Covid pandemic or the war in Ukraine.
