Advance praise for The Tao of Bill Murray
As much as I love Gavin Edwards’s wonderful The Tao of Bill Murray,
I can’t help but feel sad that Bill Murray has never covered my
eyes on a street corner.
*Moby, author of Porcelain: A Memoir*
Reading The Tao of Bill Murray is like spending time with Bill, but
probably safer.—Danny Rubin, screenwriter of Groundhog Day
*Danny Rubin, screenwriter of Groundhog Day*
When confronted by life’s challenges and opportunities, we should
all be asking ourselves, ‘What would Bill Murray do?’ This book
actually has the answers.
*Jay Duplass, writer, director, actor, fan of Bill Murray*
An important piece of cultural documentation
*Irish Times*
Edwards does an admirable job of profiling Murray's unique approach
to life, friendship, and work, via interviews with the actor
himself as well as friends, collaborators, and those acquaintances.
The book is bursting with anecdotes that underline Murray's
unconventional and fun-loving life: he's commandeered a street
cleaner, crashed an off-campus house party and started doing the
dishes, and driven a cab while the cabby practiced playing
saxophone in the back seat... Murray's fans are sure to savor this
book and walk away with a deeper appreciation of the actor and his
work.
