NEW YORK (AP) — One of the last major digital holdouts, “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” should soon be available as an e-book, the attorney for the late activist’s estate told The Associated Press.
L. Londell McMillan said Friday that a digital edition will likely be out by May 19, what would have been Malcolm X’s 90th birthday. McMillan said that the estate would likely self-publish the book, which has been released in paperback by Ballantine Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
The autobiography is a collaboration with Alex Haley published in 1965, soon after Malcolm X was assassinated. It was immediately acclaimed and has sold millions of copies.
“The Catcher In the Rye” and “One Hundred Years of Solitude” are among the other works still unavailable digitally.
