Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson

Charles Webb has written a sequel to his 1963 novel The Graduate:

"Home School" picks up the lives of Braddock and Elaine about 10 years on, living in upstate New York with their two children and trying to keep Mrs. Robinson at bay.

Random House said it planned to publish the book in Britain in June 2007. It has world rights to the novel, but has not announced a U.S. publication date. Stuart Applebaum, a spokesman for the U.S. division of Random House, said the publisher was still waiting to see material from the new book before making any decisions.

Paul Sidey, editor at Random House's Hutchinson imprint, said the book was "short, sharp and very funny. And there is a last hurrah for the mother-in-law from hell."

Early Vegas odds have Tom Cruise praying to L. Ron that he'll ruin the movie get the lead.

Oh, god. Isn't Buck Henry pitching this idea in the opening shot of Altman's The Player?

I know, I know. Don't judge a book by its pre-packaged marketability, or something like that.
