Kanye West, Author

Kanye West has finally decided to pen the tomes of his own religion.

Okay, not really. But close!

The Heartbreak Vocoder of our generation is planning on compiling a new book documenting his successful Glow in the Dark Tour with behind-the-scenes photos, concept art, commentary from the Kanye’s mouth, and a best of CD from the tour’s set list.

Charles Miers, of publishing house Rizzoli New York. said, “Kanye West has turned his talents as pop artist to books. With a CD that includes Star Wars-like symphonics from the show as well as (an) interview with Spike Jonze, it is not only a memento of one of the most successful musical performances of the year, it is an experience all (of) its own.”

No word on whether or not the text will be in all caps.

For an extra fee, Kanye will come read the book out loud to you.

Look for the book in stores sometime in October ’09.
