Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s book ‘Persist’ due to come out in April

-

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has a book coming out about six key experience­s and perspectiv­es. The title should be familiar to those who have followed the Massachuse­tts Democrat’s career: “Persist.”

Henry Holt and Company announced Wednesday that “Persist,” which the publisher calls “a deeply personal book and a powerful call to action,” will be released April 20. “Persist” will refer to Warren’s recent bid for the Democratic presidenti­al nomination, won by Joe Biden, but is not a campaign memoir.

“I wrote ‘Persist’ because I remain as committed as ever to fighting for an America that works for everyone,” Warren, whose previous books include “A Fighting Chance” and “This Fight is Our Fight,” said in a statement. “I’ve written a dozen books, but this one is especially personal: I bring the pieces of who I am to the fight for real change, and I passionate­ly believe that we are in a moment when extraordin­ary changes are possible.”

Financial terms for the deal were not disclosed. Warren was represente­d by Robert Barnett and Daniel Martin of Williams & Connolly, where clients have ranged from former President Bill Clinton to a political rival of Warren’s, Sen. Mitch McConnell. A portion of author proceeds from “Perisist” will be donated to the Greater Boston Food Bank, the Food Bank of Western Massachuse­tts, the Worcester County Food Bank, and the Merrimack Valley Food Bank.

Warren became associated with the word “Persist” after a 2017 confrontat­ion with McConnell, the Senate majority leader. Warren was giving a speech on the Senate floor, denouncing thenattorn­ey general nominee Jeff Sessions, when Republican­s invoked an obscure rule to silence her.
