Michael J. Fox: New memoirs appear in autumn

Back in the past – without a time machine, but on paper. For the 40th anniversary of “Back to the Future”, Michael J. Fox (63) announces his new book “Future Boy”, in which he speaks, among other things, about his time in his parade role as Marty McFly in global success film.

“This book has basically become a time machine for me,” the actor told the American magazine about the memoirs, which he wrote together with Nelle Fortenberry. The title is “Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum” (German back and my journey through the space-time continuum). The publishing publisher Flatiron Books announced the day of publication: October 14th.

The book mainly deals with the most exciting time of his career: namely the year 1985 when Fox competed in the film classic as a Marty McFly. At that time, Fox worked on the US sitcom “Family Ties” and turned back to the future at night. In his new book, he describes how chaotic it was to play two cult roles at the same time. “The only reason for time is that not everything at once. “I wonder if even Albert could do something with my life in the first months of 1985 when time played crazy and tore me. How was that? In a word: busy.”

Fox researches big questions in his new book: “Who am I? I think I found it out”. There will also be new interviews with actors from both projects “to tell a piece of entertainment history that has never been told before,” says the book description.

“This book has basically become a time machine for me, but in contrast to the Delorean there is plenty of space for anyone who wants to ride,” advertises Michael J. Fox himself.

Fox, who suffered from Parkinson, is also the bestselling author of the memoirs “A Funny Thing Happed on the Way to the Future”, “Always Looking Up, Lucky Man” and “No Time Like the Future”.

In “No Time Like the Future”, which was published in 2020, Fox already reflected his film career and his life perspective after the Parkinson’s diagnosis at the age of 29.

He says of the new book: “What is exciting for me is that this new book is less memoirs and more perspective – I consider questions that I think we all have them about our lives: Who am I? Where do I go? I don’t want to reveal anything, but I think I found it out.”
