West, 43, received a $110,000 advance from Hyperion for his new book, First Person Plural: My Life as a Multiple, and screen rights have been sold for $1.15 million. West says his numerous personalities, whom he refers to as "my guys," are the result of severe sexual abuse as a child; they include a six-year-old named MOZART, four-year-old twin girls named Anna and Trudi and a 30-year...
