On November 4 this year, “We Did Ok, Kid,” the memoir of renowned actor Anthony Hopkins, will go on sale in the U.S. Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe has acquired the German rights to the memoir. The work, whose German title has not yet been determined, will be published by Goldmann Verlag on November 12. “It is a great honor to publish the long-awaited memoir of Sir Anthony Hopkins,” says Stephanie Taverna, Head of Publishing at Goldmann Verlag. “I have complete confidence that this moving, intelligent, and entertaining book will delight its readers!”
“‘We Did Ok, Kid’ is a raw and passionate memoir from a complex, iconic figure who has inspired audiences with remarkable performances for over 60 years,” writes the publisher. And the author himself writes, in his foreword: “There is a photograph I keep on my phone of my father and me on the beach when I was a child. I often tell that boy: ‘We did OK, kid.’ I wonder how a boy from Wales, the son of a baker, got here. My entire life is a great mystery. This book is my story.”
