Jarvis Cocker will release his first book later this year

After signing a publishing deal in 2017, Jarvis Cocker is set to release his first book later this year.

This Book Is A Song has been given a release of October 1st, and will apparently ‘explore the subject of creativity and how to quietly make amazing things happen in a world of noise’.

“We’re thrilled and excited to be publishing one of Britain’s greatest and most adored cultural and musical figures, Jarvis Cocker, at Jonathan Cape and Vintage,” the company’s publishing director Michal Shavit said at the time of Cocker’s deal.

“Whether it is from the stage, over the airwaves and now in print, he never fails to be interesting and brilliantly real. We’re thrilled to be part of this project and can’t wait for him to show us the path to everyday inspiration.”
