Here are some photos of Caitlyn Jenner out and about this week. Can I just say? Caitlyn needs to rethink the bangs. I’m not entirely opposed to Caitlyn in particular having some longer fringe around her face, but the baby-bangs in the black-dress photos have got to go. Anyway, Caitlyn is about to start promotion on the second season of I Am Cait, which means more interviews, more misstatements, and more confusion about what she’s really trying to talk about. And now this: the New York Times reports that Caitlyn is working on a memoir, which will be published in 2017. She’s getting help from Buzz Bissinger, the Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist who profiled Caitlyn for Vanity Fair last year.

Caitlyn Jenner — the reality TV star and prominent transgender activist — will publish a memoir about her highly public transformation from the Olympic track star and motivational speaker Bruce Jenner into a glamorous transgender woman, Caitlyn Marie Jenner. Ms. Jenner will write the memoir with Buzz Bissinger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of “Friday Night Lights.” Grand Central Publishing is tentatively scheduled to release the Jenner book in the spring of 2017.

A book seemed like an inevitable extension of her brand, and publishing-industry executives have speculated that Ms. Jenner’s memoir could fetch a high seven-figure or low eight-figure sum. Grand Central declined to disclose the amount of the contract, which was negotiated by Ms. Jenner’s representatives at Creative Artists Agency.

Mr. Bissinger was a natural choice for a collaborator. For the Vanity Fair article, he spent hundreds of hours over three months with Ms. Jenner before her transition, and countless hours with her after she reintroduced herself as Caitlyn. Mr. Bissinger said that Ms. Jenner approached him about collaborating on her memoir a few months after the Vanity Fair article appeared.

“I made it clear to her before I agreed that everything has to be on the table, nothing can be left out, and I’m going to be interviewing dozens of other people,” he said. “It’s her book, but it’s going to be reported out to keep her honest. She’s been incredibly open, and I think it has the potential to be a really important book.”

The book will cover Ms. Jenner’s childhood as Bruce Jenner and rise to fame as a gold- medal-winning Olympic decathlete; her first two marriages and her troubled relationship with her children; her marriage to Kris Kardashian, the matriarch of the Kardashian brood; her transition and her experience as the world’s most famous transgender woman.

In a statement released by Grand Central, Ms. Jenner said she hoped the book would help her to process all that’s happened to her in the past year, and in the decades leading up to her transition.

“Things have been moving so quickly that it will be nice to slow things down a bit and take the proper time to reflect on this journey,” she said.

The NYT describes this as “inevitable” and I agree. It’s so inevitable that I actually had a moment of “wait, I thought this already happened?” While it’s true that then-Bruce Jenner wrote some books, this will be the first all-encompassing memoir/book involving Caitlyn. And the fact that Bissinger is interested in speaking to everybody about everything is also pretty interesting – I don’t think this is going to be the Jenner Apologia people might be expecting.
