NEW YORK (AP) β Rick Moody is finally letting “The Ice Storm” and some of his other previous works come out as e-books.
Electronic editions of four of Moody’s books went on sale Tuesday, released by digital publisher Open Road Integrated Media. The other books include the novel “Purple America,” the memoir “The Black Veil” and the short fiction collection “The Ring of Brightest Angels Around Heaven.” In a recent email, Moody told The Associated Press that he had been reluctant to grant electronic rights because most publishers treated the e-editions as “an ancillary part of the lives of my books.”
Open Road was co-founded in 2009 by former HarperCollins CEO Jane Friedman. It now has some 10,000 electronic books in its catalog, from Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple” to Pat Conroy’s “The Prince of Tides.”
