Khan’s untitled memoir will be published in the fall of 2017, according to the Associated Press, which cited Random House’s announcement. Khizr Khan’s wife, Ghazala Khan, contributed to the memoir. Khan’s public feud with Trump became a focal point of the presidential campaign after Khan spoke out against Trump during an emotional [speech](http://time.com/4429891/dnc-khizr-khan-donald-trump-constitution/) at the Democratic National Convention, and Trump responded by attacking him and his wife.
