OJ Simpson's death drew attention to the controversial 2007 bestseller. If I did.
Originally sold as Simpson's book (with help from author Pablo Fenjves), If I did offered a purported “hypothetical” account of how the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman would have played out if the NFL star had committed them.
In a strange turn of events, HarperCollins would end up canceling the book and the rights If I did they were eventually awarded to the Goldman family.
The Goldmans published a new edition of the book – which is the version currently available online – which added the subtitle “Confessions of a Murderer”. The reissue also included a new byline from Fenjves (revealed to be Simpson's ghostwriter), new essays written by members of the Goldman family, and “key commentary” on OJ's original trial, civil trial, and conviction . A judge also ordered that all royalties from the sale of the book be awarded to the Goldman family.
As the publisher notes, “The Goldman family sees the book as their confession and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn the truth. This is OJ Simpson's original manuscript with up to 14,000 words of additional key commentary from those whose lives were forever changed by the heinous crime.'
I want to read If I did In connection? The Goldman Family and OJ Simpson book is available in 240 page paperback at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. You can also listen If I did as an audiobook via Audible here. The audiobook is narrated by Fenjves and Goldman's sister, Kim. Read the audiobook for free with this free 30-day trial on Audible.
Simpson died on April 10 at the age of 76 after what his family said was a private battle with cancer.
