In 2020 we reported that Neil Young had submitted a manuscript to a publisher for a fiction novel
titled "Canary". At the time, Neil had been writing the book for over four years and
hoped to have published by the end of 2020.
Earlier reports were that the book was of a science fiction nature. Some
time ago, word had it that Neil met with Nils Lofgren's neighbor author
Clive Cussler to discuss writing fiction. (See undated photo above of Neil Young, Nils Lofgren & Clive Cussler. Not incidentally, Clive Cussler has since passed away.)
Last week, Neil Young said that he had again "handed in" a manuscript to a publisher for a science fiction novel titled "Canary".
So we're not entirely sure what might have happened between then and now, but we would have to speculate that the 1st manuscript needed some editorial work, as Neil mentions his editor by name as "Ed" - no kidding.
This will be the 3rd 4th book authored (or co-authored) by Neil Young.
In 2012, Neil Young published Waging Heavy Peace: A Hippie Dream.
