Edward Snowden’s memoir PERMANENT RECORD will be published globally by Macmillan Publishers on September 17, 2019 by Metropolitan Books, an imprint of Henry Holt.
In 2013, Edward Snowden, a former CIA agent and NSA contractor, shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the U.S. government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every phone call, text message, and email ever sent. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. In Permanent Record, he tells his story for the very first time, bringing the reader along as he helps to create this system of mass surveillance, and then experiences the crisis of conscience that led him to try to bring it down.
Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government’s system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down.
"THE END OF THE MYTH is a powerful and painful book, clear-sighted, meticulous and damning. Grandin writes with learned, punchy elegance, as attentive to the broad sweep of his narrative as he is to the fine details of each era. He excels at revealing the hidden ancestry, usually un-pretty, of contemporary rightwing tropes....Grandin forges a cogent and convincing etiology for the strange disease afflicting the US."

We can’t wait to share this with you!
I’m very happy to share that my memoir has been acquired by Metropolitan Books/Macmillan. The book will be a fully illustrated graphic memoir. It will delve into my childhood in Cuba during the Cold War, my family’s migration to the United States, and my work as an artist in today’s America. From Publishers Weekly: Cuban-American artist Edel Rodriguez sold a graphic memoir, at auction, to Riva Hocherman at Metropolitan Books. Hocherman took North American rights, to ‘Worm’ from agent Holly McGhee at Pippin Properties. The book is slated for publication in 2021.
