The Graduate To Get Sequel by dan

The AP just broke the news that “The Graduate” writer, Charles Webb, has announced a sequel to the classic is now in the works.

“It was quite a while till I could figure out what they did next,” he said.

“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 next year. It has world rights to the novel, but has not announced a U.S. publication date.

Also, apparently, Webb decided to write it because he is nearly homeless.

Webb, 66, said it was the threat of homelessness for himself and his partner of 40 years — a woman who goes by the name of Fred — that prompted him to approach publishers with the novel he had been working on for several years.

“I have a person in California who advises me and she said, ‘Don’t wait until it’s finished. You’ll be finishing it out on the street,’ ” Webb told The Associated Press. “So I sold it before I intended to.”

The movie version of “The Graduate” made millions, but Webb, who did not get a share of the film rights, did not receive any of the money.
