Amazon to Publish Novel by James Franco

James FrancoMichael Kirby Smith for The New York TimesJames Franco

James Franco, the laconic actor who collects M.F.A.’s when he isn’t starring in movies or hosting the Oscars, will publish his first novel in 2013. “Actors Anonymous,” a follow-up to “Palo Alto,” a book of short stories that was released in 2010, was acquired by Amazon Publishing New York, the company said on Wednesday. Ed Park, the senior editor who acquired the book, called it “a hugely ambitious and wild ride.”

“Like James himself, this novel transcends categories,” he said in an e-mail. The book is one of the most high-profile acquisitions that Amazon Publishing has made. Mr. Franco jumped to Amazon from Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, which published “Palo Alto.” A spokesman for Scribner declined to comment.
