‘Wicked’ Director Jon M. Chu Sets Memoir With Random House


Random House will publish a memoir by Wicked director Jon M. Chu this summer.

An announcement by Random House today says, “With striking candor and unrivaled insights, Chu offers a firsthand account of the collision of Silicon Valley and Hollywood – what it’s been like to watch his old world shatter and reshape his new one. “Now, in his memoir, Chu dives deep into his life and work for the first time,” the statement continues, “telling the universal story of questioning what it means when your dreams collide with your circumstances, and exploring how it’s possible to succeed even when the world changes beyond all recognition.” “I’m so excited to share this deeply personal book, which is a record of how I retraced the steps that brought me here: from being a wide-eyed kid growing up during the rise of Silicon Valley, to learning the art of storytelling, to staying creative even as Hollywood cracks up all around me.
