"This book that I just wrote is going to be coming out very soon to Australia"
About this Quote
The line lands like a press junket shrug, but it’s also a tiny masterclass in how celebrity sells itself: not through insight, but through proximity and immediacy. “This book that I just wrote” is deliberately clunky, almost childlike. It performs authenticity. Biggs isn’t presenting himself as an author with a thesis; he’s presenting himself as the guy you already know, casually mentioning the next product. The syntax is the tell: the point isn’t literature, it’s logistics.
“Going to be coming out” doubles down on inevitability. It’s future-tense hype padded with redundancy, the language of a man used to living in the slipstream of headlines. The sentence treats publication like a tour stop. Australia isn’t a readership; it’s a market, a destination on the circuit where notoriety can be converted into cash and attention. That’s especially pointed with Biggs, whose fame is inseparable from a life built on spectacle and pursuit. When your identity is already a story people can’t stop retelling, the “book” becomes less a work than a new installment in an ongoing franchise.
The subtext: you don’t need to ask whether it’s good, only whether you’ll be there when it drops. It’s celebrity culture’s quiet contract. The content is almost beside the point; the event is the product. Biggs isn’t inviting interpretation. He’s announcing availability.
