Former Alaska Governor and best-selling author Sarah Palin will break her long media silence by sitting down with Oprah Winfrey for a live interview on Monday, November 16 — the day before Palin’s memoir is released.
As we’ve pointed out, Palin’s “Going Rogue” has already catapulted to the top of multiple bestseller lists. And her interview with Oprah — which Oprah.com bills as “a world exclusive” — seems sure to generate even more buzz for Palin’s book.
According to the press release from The Oprah Winfrey Show, “Winfrey and Palin will meet for the very first time on the episode, which will mark Palin’s first interview to discuss her upcoming book, ‘Going Rogue: An American Life,’ and her first-ever appearance on the Oprah show.”
Of course, Winfrey is a big supporter of President Barack Obama, so it’ll be interesting to see if and how she and Palin talk about last year’s presidential campaign — not to mention some of Palin’s more inflammatory contentions, including that Obama was “palling around with terrorists.”
And while it’s hardly a sure thing, it seems unlikely that Palin’s memoir will join “East of Eden” and “The Sound and the Fury” as recommendations for Oprah’s Book Club.
