Ad-Rock and Mike D (left and center) of the Beastie Boys are writing a memoir to come out in 2015.

No sleep till Book-lyn! If you haven’t heard the news that inspired that dreadful pun (for which I do not apologize; the worse the pun, the more I revel in it), the surviving members of the Beastie Boys have announced that they’re writing a memoir together. Ben Sisario writes for the New York Times that Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz—better known as Mike D and Ad-Rock—will soon be joining the likes of rock stars like Keith Richards and Patti Smith by writing a memoir.

The as-yet untitled book will be published by Spiegel and Grau; publisher Julie Grau said that fans should not expect a typical memoir from the Beastie Boys. It’s going to be very much in the voice of the musicians, and Grau told the Times that Diamond and Horovitz are “interested in challenging the form and making the book a multidimensional experience. There is a kaleidoscopic frame of reference, and it asks a reader to keep up.”

The band’s agent Luke Janklow agreed, saying that their immediate response was to eschew doing a straight memoir. He and Grau both said that it would share an aesthetic with the Beastie Boys’ short-lived magazine, Grand Royal, in that it will be “loosely structured as an oral history” and feature “contributions by other writers, as well as a strong visual component.”

Janklow also discussed the untimely death of the third member of the group, Adam Yauch (a.k.a. MCA), and the fact that he’d been talking with the trio about doing a memoir before Yauch passed away. He told the Times that “after Yauch died, I didn’t push them…but I think that Adam and Mike ended up realizing that it was the right time for them.” Spiegel and Grau is expected to officially announce the book this week, with a fall 2015 publication date.
